was it dark or milk chocolate... there is honestly not a lot of carbs in that dish other than the nachos which maybe low glicemic index anyways. The fat from the avadaco maybe effecting the sugar digestion (slowing down) fat does this.</end quote>
It doesn't really matter if its dark or milk, they add sugar to chocolate sticks, lets say she had 4-6 sticks total they might be around 25 carbs , nahos are made from wheat and actually have a high glycemic index, for a full plate, it may be around 50 carbs, but the cheese does slow it down, -but the carbs will be absorbed eventually, the avocado/pork sauce, might have some carbs in it even with meat in it, say 12 grams, -even if spicy......</end quote>
Hmm hence why I said that, they MAYBE low glycemic load. Depending on what they are made from, just because they are nachosdoesn'tmean they are made from CORN. Nachos are not made from wheat, if they were and they happened to be made from a whole grain wheat they would have a slightly lower glycemic load. Also Chocolate in general has a low glycemic load, lower than most might thing. For a fact of the matter pure sugars glycemic load isnt that bad, it has a medium rating and is around 65. Where white bread is rated high and 71. Your average Coke or pepsi is rated at 65 as well, whereGatoradeis a high 78, but at the same time it's designed that way. Theavocadowill have some but not nearly as much as the rest.</end quote>
Wheat is the grain family, and so is corn, -either way-, they are high glycemic, -why? Nachos is a processed food for the most part and the add in some brands HFCS's,...
If these were low glycemic foods, her sugar wouldn't have crashed,- as she doesnt take external insulin-, So they would have been a slower release of insulin with the break down of fat. Her body detected a spike in carbs too quickly and released insulin, then her sugar dropped to much in a short amount of time.
These glycemic measures you give are different for every person and not everyone has the same reaction to a glycemic load and are only used as a guideline.
Yes,- chocolate does a have a low glycemic load, - because of the fat,- BUT if those sticks has a filling in them, icing, then that changes the load.

<br>This is all true, corn is high by itself, wheat if its whole grain isnt as bad. You are 100% right that it's when they add in the chemicals and God knows what else it changes things, you don't know what you are eating anymore.<br>The bottom line I guess is we can't really know without having more details like you said about the icing on thechocolatesticks or what kind of nachos etc<br>The problem seems to be she shocked her system for sure. So I say we need more info.
