I think the same, I think it was the rice. The rice was probably the culprit. My total amount of insulin taken was way too much for the carbs it contained and still didn't bring it down. I ate large portion, maybe I should control myself better and not eat that much of rice in one sitting. The...

I did the counting when I was diagnosed and in my daily life I average my sugar levels in 8 mmol a day. I eat various food and always I get the high sugars down by injecting insulin.
