See my reply to Alan Moorman. I'm not concerned whether it's
diabetes 101 (I'm not exactly a newby these days, see sig)-
and I spike from both lentils and sugar, just in different
timeframes. As Alan noted - there is little research to say
whether fast or slow spikes cause greater damage.

My meter has shown me that the number that matters on the
ingredients list is almost always the carb count, not the
sugar.

But the most important aspect is what my meter tells me, not
the ingredients list.

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.
