can 100% whole grain wheat pasta raise your blood/sugar level,like regular pasta!
Question:
Answers:
The answer to your question is yes, it can and will. Pasta, white or wheat or any other type is still a carbohydrate. All carbohydrates are are long sugar chains, so by eating them your blood sugar will raise. The fact that it is a complex carb and not a simple carb (table sugar) means that your blood sugar will go up slower and stay higher longer then with plain table sugar where it will go up really fast and come down really fast. Regular pasta and whole grain pasta are the same in that sense, the reason you are eating whole grain pasta is that it has fiber in it which will help slow down the grain pasta's digestion and make the sugar rise take longer, making it a better alternative for diabetics, but in the end of the day, the sugar will still go up, it will just take a little longer than it would with the regular pasta.
Other Answers:
No. Because it has complex carbohydrates instead of simple sugars that are responsible for higher blood sugar levels.
It is the gluten in the dough of the pasta that raises the blood sugar levels. Best to check with the doctor regarding what is best to eat. Usually, they say go with gluten-free pastas, there are several on the market.
Yes, because it still has a lot of sodium which contributes to high blood pressure
