[QUOTE="dancer, post: 892475, member: 110569"] I love Italy and have been going there every summer for over 10 years. One thing I try to watch is the bread. Rolls I can estimate well but the carbs in Italian crusty bread can go either way. Once in Sorrento I had some bread which was very light and full of holes. Had it been our normal French stick type of bread, I would have said 20g for my wee slices but because it was so light I reckoned it was less, so didn't bolus enough and went high later. Another day I had some quite heavy bread but because of the heat I just called it 20g, as I didn't want to go hypo. I was surprised to find that my blood sugar was fine later. Pasta sauces can be quite fatty and this can play havoc with blood sugars but usually that's a case of going low then high. A good point was made about your coke. I never accept drinks that have been mixed at the bar - I must know that it's sugar free. [/QUOTE]
