This is sound advice from Dr. Ede. I don't use my glucometer as much as I should. I should measure again the meals that I eat consistently (my "go tos" so to speak) to see where I am and then whenever I eat something new or infrequently to understand exactly what happens to my BG and get a baseline. The difference between raw and cooked veggies makes sense. My assumption is that the rate of digestion and absorption is slower when eating raw compared to being cooked and soft.
