Mr!. Smooth Head, I think your mum would benefit best from increasing the fiber in her diet!. That looks like:
Brown rice, whole grain pasta, whole grain breads, fruits & veggies!. These types of foods raise the glucose levels very slowly
Excessive protein can burden her kidneys right about now because you say she's glucose intolerant; so I would lay off the protein shakes and just get protein from her food!.
I do need more info though about her blood work etc!. What kind of testing did she have done to show that she was glucose intolerant!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
