You can't "go keto" for a single meal. It takes days to get into ketosis and a little longer to be completely fat adapted, it's a way of life, not a dinner. You're counting calories instead of carbs, and it's the carbs that raise blood sugars. Rice and cake will both be carb-laden and thus spike your blood glucose.

If you're on insulin you probably should know this or you'd inject wrong... Unless you're on basal only? Mixed fixed dose? One moment you're on insulin, then diet controlled... What is it? Because if you are injecting without knowing what you're doing... I mean, if you have a carb free meal and inject/bolus for that, that could get very dangerous, very fast.

Not calling you out, just really concerned for your well-being.
 
Four strips of bacon, two eggs fried in the bacon drippings, a skillet full of spinach also sauted in the drippings. For supper I had a taco salad (spicy ground beef, onion, tomato, cheddar cheese, avocado, refried beans [a few spoonfuls], and lettuce) with a dried corn tortilla. Washed down with half a glass of beer. Then a half of an apple for an evening snack.
 
Need to start monitoring my carbs again. So this looks like a good place to focus my mind.
All meals cooked from ingredients pate is homemade :)

Breakfast - Porridge + milk 35g
Lunch - 2x ryvita + pate + chutney 3x dried apricot + p.nut butter 50g
Snack - 2x ryvita + pate + chutney 25g
Dinner - meatballs and redpeppers in tomato and onion sauce with salad leaves 20g
Whisky
Total = 130g carbs
