I am really confused with eating or not eating starches with meals. Some of you are 5 percent only with carbs but the others who can eat 35 carbs at a meal like this turkey and bean stew, are you able to keep blood sugar below 140 after these kind of meals ?

Okay, to be honest, I've never heard of black beans.
I was hoping they didn't mean green and yellow
beans someone left lying around.
But I see they
come in a can. For some reason, that's a relief.
Sounds Good otherwise. Enjoy.
