Both the potato and salad are carbs which will raise your glucose level, as I understand it. Sweet tater is a complex carb and better choice if you can stand it. Plus all the goop you probably put on the tater prolly ain't healthy, but we love it loaded. Add some protein to slow it all down. Took me awhile to understand it all but lost 40 pounds in 6 months and my lab numbers all came way down after years of being "pre-diabetic". I just try and have protein with every meal, even an egg. I agree, beer, bbq and steak should be healthy foods and all are, especially grass fed meat, in that dreaded word "moderation". I have blood pressure issues so have to watch all the sodium in the bbq sauce.Baked potato and a salad. As I need to lower my A1C, I'm eating rabbit food frequently.
