I made savoury mince and dumplings for dinner last night, its the first time I'd tried dumplings since diagnosis. And I'll be having them again!
Tested 2 hours after eating them and only had a rise of 0.5 and I had 2 of them!
 
Dumplings have quite a negative long term effect on MODY type diabetics. Oh yes and cats do too. Send all of your dumplings and Tigga to St. Helens as these things have no effect whatsoever on type 1's 😛

No dumplings left!!! The badgers had the left overs!!! You will have to travel down to Essex DL and i'll make you dumplings! But I will be checking your pockets thoroughly to make sure you arent trying to smuggle out Tigga on your departure!
 
'The Dumpling Test' sounds as though it should be about how cute you are...and that's as cute as a delicious dinky little dumpling Stitchy babe :D

Im hardly dinky!!! But thank you. X
 
We had them on Sunday too Stitch and only a moderate rise for me. Proper dinners seem to be my safest bet for keeping the BG's steady.

Suet does have a lower GL than flower, Steak and Kidney pudding, Oh Yeah 🙂

9.3g carbohydrate per 100
 
Didnt want to risk them before, but we was talking about food in work yesterday (all our conversations seem to end up on food) and someone mentioned dumplings, so I thought i'd given them a try, pleased with the result and they are definately back on the menu. I know my OH enjoyed it as he went back for seconds!

Stitch...wish I hadn't seen this...since I've read it...fixated on the prospect of savoury mince (soya of course ) and dumplings (whilst trying to ignore DL's lascivious comments about them...or was that about someone else's baps)...have soya mince in freezer...going to give it a try...salivating already...
 
I once read (word of mouth anecdote, so take it with as much of a pinch of salt as you like! 😉 ) that dumplings don't spike as much when freshly made (the suet factor) as they do when reheated (cos all the suet has run out, leaving the dumplings with a higher GL.

Never tested this, cos I try and avoid flour, but maybe one of you could conduct some exhaustive Dumpling Trials, to test the theory...?

- have tried LC grain free dumplings, but they were unmitigated disaster. :(

Interesting post. It seems logical, but we won't know until it's been tested. I might try dumplings made with coconut or almond flour? I'll let you know how I get on.

I was confused by your second para. Why would anyone try to avoid flavour? I need an eye test. 🙄
 
At this time of year I start looking forward to the time when it's cold enough to really enjoy stew n dumps. I'm now reassured bout the dumps it's the root veg that concerns me now.
 
What I had last night was so easy to do. It was a Hairy Bikers recipe, i changed a couple of ingredients just to suit me.
 
I also left out the caster sugar!
