I thought I'd try out what would happen if I ate an ultra thin pizza from m and s. (Well, I was in need of a treat and I really fancied it). Before lunch my BG was 5.2. Two hours later it had jumped to 7.8, the highest it has been since I started testing myself. One hour later I tested again and it was down to 4.2,my lowest yet. I wonder if the 7.8 was a rogue reading or if it is normal to drop down so quickly?
Hi Helen - Have you continued testing beyond the 2 hour mark? The reason I ask is a number of people have commented that pizza is a sneaky little foodstuff, in that for some it will have a slow rise, and for others it has more than one rise, due to the combination of carbs and fats.
Should you repeat the pizza, it would be worthwhile just testing on for another hour, or if that sees a further rise, then a little longer.
Pizzas aren't my thing so I could happily never bother with another, ever again, but I do know how yummtastic they are for some.
