White potatoes are in the middle but French fries (I’m assuming fried? But you can bake them too) are at the bottom, so strange Also based on that list, I think salsa might be the perfect mix: low cal and high satiety
Eating high-water food is filling. Compare an apple to dried apple slices, a grape to a raisin.

#33Boiled potatoes are the most satiating food. I met a person saying her doctor didn't recommend it with her diabete, I find this strange, even if there are starch, you feel so full after eating a few potatoes there's no risk Least satiating food are croissants, 7x less than potatoes
1. There are big differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and management of them are (for the most part) very different. Distinguishing between the two is important. 2. Please be mindful of making declarative statements about the risks associated with diabetics and foods. A small red potato is ~27g of carbs, a couple of potatoes to non-diabetics may seem harmless but for a T1 diabetic, 54g of carbs from couple…
This post is factually incorrect.
Eating carbohydrates cannot cause Diabetic Ketoacidosis.
Ketoacidosis is caused by not having enough insulin which means glucose can't exit your bloodstream and enter your cells, Your body starts breaking down fat into ketones to provide an energy pathway for your cells that doesn't require insulin. Ketones are acidic and at high enough levels will cause DKA. This can be fatal.
Eating potatoes without corresponding insulin will raise the level of glucose in your bloodstream to high levels. This is not immediately fatal. Having a high average blood glucose level over a long time span (years) will lead to lots of complications including nerve damage, kidney damage, blindness, etc. Obviously this assumes you have the appropriate basal rate of insulin which is separate from eating.
A more accurate way of making your point is that it is difficult to match insulin response times (even with modern fast acting insulin) to certain foods that are absorbed quickly, so eating potatoes may cause a time period may cause a higher post prandial glucose level. The goal of type 1 diabetic therapy is to keep your average glucose levels as close to a normal person's level as possible. So avoiding certain foods (or eating along with protein/fat/fiber) can help achieve lower average blood glucose levels.

Thanks for the clarification, something also often overlooked it how important is mastication, By masticating for a long time, it helps a lot mitigating these peaks as well
