How We Determine Digestible Carbs

Dreamfields contains inulin, which is a 100 percent natural prebiotic fiber found in common foods such as artichokes, asparagus, garlic and raisins. By providing a food source for the healthy bacteria living in the gut, prebiotics such as inulin may help promote healthy digestion.

  • Inulin is food for the “good” bacteria (bifidobacteria and lactobacilli) that live in the colon. These bacteria grow and produce fermentation products that may also help support a healthy immune system, modulate glucose and lipid metabolism in the liver, help improve calcium absorption, and help keep the colon functioning properly for recycling of water and electrolytes.

“We made a pasta dish with Dreamfields for our health fair and it was a huge success. I plan to use it again next year.”
Blood glucose monitoring is essential for diabetes management.  Like carb counting, label reading and portion control, the GI and GL can be used as tools to help people with diabetes manage blood glucose.   As a general rule of thumb, whenever possible, try to choose foods that have a low GI over those with a high GI.
  • According to the American Diabetes Association Clinical Practice Recommendations, using the GI along with carbohydrate counting may provide modest additional benefit for blood glucose control over only counting carbohydrates.
Blood Glucose Response

The 2008 American Diabetes Association (ADA) Clinical Practice Recommendations included a statement recognizing the evidence that reducing carbohydrates or fat intake are equally effective for decreasing weight in the short term if calorie intake is reduced.

  • It is still recommended to consume about 130 grams of carbohydrates per day to provide adequate glucose as the required fuel for the central nervous system without reliance on glucose production from ingested protein or fat.  Calorie balance – not the source of the calories – is the key factor in weight loss.
