NEW in the Sugar Jewellery range: Konjac Spaghetti
Do you know this feeling? You just want to eat a huge pile of spaghetti without first calculating the exact amount of carbohydrates in the pasta? Or without having a large amount of active insulin in your body afterwards, which can then hinder sport and physical activity?
Based on this wish, we
tested the Lower-Carb Spaghetti from Shileo for you. These are DRIED konjac noodles with an amazingly "real" spaghetti taste, no comparison to the slimy konjac noodles in brine that you may know from the supermarket.
Here is our review of the lower carb konjac spaghetti from Shileo:
As a representative of the diabetes type 1 community, our shop founder Sonja (T1D for 35 years, Loop with Dexcom G6 and Ypsopump) has tested for you:
“For 1.5 portions of konjac spaghetti (a really big plate!) I only gave a DELAYED and cautious bolus (I only gave a delayed bolus for 50% of the amount of carbohydrates stated on the package, specifically for 1/2 of 30g of carbohydrates = bolus for 15g of carbohydrates), as these contain a lot of fiber and few carbohydrates and therefore only have a slow effect on the blood sugar level. My blood sugar rose VERY slowly, only after 2 hours to a maximum of 130 mg/dl, the loop did the rest on its own. The drop in blood sugar that is usual with normal spaghetti after a large bolus was thus eliminated - great for low carb fans! Here is my basal rate and glucose curve documented with Dexcom G6 via Mylife CamAPS fx (Loop Ypsopump with Dexcom G6):
Glucose trend:
Conclusion: hardly any increase in blood sugar after a large portion of spaghetti bolognese and no worries about a large bolus and duration of action, that is exactly what is possible with the Konjac spaghetti from Shileo: due to the high fiber content and the low GLYX (glycemic index), the carbohydrates contained have a VERY slow effect on blood sugar. Ideal for type 2 diabetics and all health-conscious people who value reduced carbohydrate intake and low carb.
As you know, we at Zuckerschmuck only include products in our online shop that we are personally 100% convinced of. We test the products and their effects on ourselves and based on 35 years of life experience with type 1 diabetes. Our product test is not intended to be a recommendation for action, as every body reacts differently. But it can help you to determine the ideal amount of insulin for your low-carb spaghetti :-)
Enjoy the taste of spaghetti, which even in large portions fits into every carbohydrate and calorie budget!

at our test meal, two children (2 and 6 years old) were there, who had a choice between konjac spaghetti and normal spaghetti. They chose the konjac spaghetti , which really surprised us, we thought children would prefer the familiar.
