Potatoes are a starch food but actually turn to sugar if you are a diabetic. I'm not personally, but learned that because my Dad was. Any starch turns to sugar so diabetics really have to watch their intake.

Cruel! I'm going to have to stop at the grocery store on the way home & get some potatoes now!! LOL
I don't eat a lot of potatoes, even tho' I do love them. But if I eat them too often, my joints hurt, especially my knuckles - something to do with them being in the nightshade family, I believe.
The only time I ate LOTS of potatoes, was the 1st time I went to Idaho to meet my penpal. I ended up staying with their family all summer long, and we did have potatoes with EVERY meal, and boy were they all yummy!!! :D
