Hello all,
Rice. This is a tricky food stuff for me. To a smaller extent, pasta. These two stuffs are the Achilles heel to my tight blood sugar control. Their onset appears to be slow and they seem to emit a greatly delayed spike. Consequently, I experience a high peak in the evening that is not easily controlled with the shot of NovoRapid usually given before my meal. The peak occurs around 2-3 hours post eating. I often find myself correcting before bed, and even with this precaution I may still experience slightly elevated blood sugar in the morning.
I have tried waiting 30 mins post-meal before giving NovoRapid, with varying success, but usually to little avail.
Basal/bolus regime: Levemir split (12 units in the morning at 8, 13 units in the evening at 8), NovoRapid given with carbohydrates. I carb count successfully and always (always) check my calculations with rice and pasta in particular.
With this, can you provide me your experience with rice and, in particular, any instructive advice and success stories?
Best,
A.
