Your blood sugar didn't rise because you snuck up on your pancreas without it knowing...<g> a steady diet of sugar laced chocolate will guarantee a very high blood sugar count in no time..... I'm not diabetic, but I'm sure a regular diet of sugar laced chocolate might gurantee diabetes rather quickly.....<g> I would think the sugar in the chocolate would raise your blood sugar... chocolate can be made without sugar and can be sweetened with apple juice... yes, I've looked over the listings... frankly, I'm not sure what I'm looking at when I read the listings, there are two columns.....<g>

The only bread I eat is whole grain, unbleached, unbromated, whole wheat flour... millet bread with rice flour with basil and garlic added is also pretty tasty... I avoid any white potato but I would eat sweet potatoes... most any vegetable steamed is okay with a cup of rice is usually my lunch.....

CCB,

This paragraph has me a tad bit confused.

The amazing thing is that I kept checking my blood sugar last night, and it never got above 130, and when I checked this morning, I was still in ketosis! I have read that chocolate doesn't raise the glycemic index much because of the fat, maybe that's why.

How did you check for Ketones??
I have heard of diets where they encourage Ketosis, this different than when a diabetic is spilling ketones, indicating the person is intentionally burning fat stores,and the body is making producing enough insulin. Looking at your comment about still being in ketosis with a blood sugar that never went above 130. I am wondering, in someone with Blood Glucose levels on the high side, couldn't this be a dangerous situation??

<edit> I see mentioned in a later post that you say you are going back on a "diet" what diet is that?? I must have missed where you mentioned it.
