[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1624637, member: 219467"] There is a "thing"called the pizza effect often noted by Type 1's. Because pizza is pretty fatty the spike caused by the carbs is often reduced in intensity but extended in time so you get a longer lower spike rather than the short sharp spike you would get from say eating a pizza base (or something with equivalent carbs) in isolation. Your mum ate a smaller piece so reacted less. Eating pizza is probably not the best way to test your glucose response to food.. or to maintain lower levels of blood sugars.. but I'm guessing you know that already. You have obviously heard of the benefits of a low carb diet so I'll just say hello and welcome to the forum. There is a huge amount of information available here so have a good read around and feel free to come back with any questions. [/QUOTE]
