Some experts say that eating a protein food with a carbohydrate slows the release rate of the carbohydrate and keeps your blood sugar more stable. I think I've read that it is not true but I also know from personal experience that it works for some people.

Doydie, according to the science and physioloogy of eating and blood sugar, it is the total amount of carbohydrate eaten rather than the source that influences blood sugar levels. I have a fair amount of experience with diabetics and diets though and there are some people who simply cannot eat certain foods. I know people who say thier blood sugar soars if they eat oranages, or carrots, or white potatoes. So, you may find you have more of a reaction to some things and not others. I can't explain it but I know it happens.
