KM- read up a litte on glycemic index and glycemic load and see if it answers your question about carrots. when looking at glycemic index carrots look terrible for glucose levels. however the GI of carrots would be for about 1.5 lbs of carrots consumed. the glycemic load is much more reasonable, in terms of intake amounts and subsequent carb load, and therefore I don't think it creates that much of a problem with regard to insulin. glycemic load should be the gold standard since it is in standard serving size of each food, not just its carb content. confusing? i know, this is what i've found so far
