This was me

Well, I say "restaurants"... So I went to KFC and asked if they had nutritional info, the girl serving looked at me like I was speaking Ancient Greek. I just ordered and was quite annoyed, when I finished I realised the info was printed in the back of the placing mats. As I was leaving the place...

I always inject after eating, otherwise I crash, but that's me. How about this: you "pre-empt" by injecting a couple of units 20min early and work out how much more you'll need when you see the meal. That way you avoid a massive spike and if you have over-injected you can compensate eating some...

wonder if your daughter had hyperglycaemia about 3h later? usually pasta is about 71 to 75 carb per 100gr raw. I always split dose, as I experienced same thing as you , I inject about 30 or 40% right after eating, and the rest "on faith" two hours later, although it always varies depending on...

Nice one, thanks for the tip @Emmotha

I hate how useless is food labelling sometimes. Take this pizza base: it tells the carbs "oven cooked" instead of raw, when am I supposed to weight it?, after cooked when I've already put all the toppings? >: ( I can't even figure it out from the net weight of the package because presumably it...

I think It would make sense that the more "of which sugar", the faster the absorption and thus higher GI

Same here

Yes, it's getting more popular now, so SunPat do it but I prefer the slightly more expensive organic "whole grain earth" both of them sold in asda , I love PB

Breakfast for me is whole grain toast with peanut butter (zero added sugar) and/or ham (yes it's a great combo!) ;)

Oh dear, never heard of this morning liver dumps in, but this explains some mysterious highs... Thanks noblehead ! :) BTW : how would you do a basal test avoiding the liver dump?

I thought this was the T1 part of the forum, or so it says at the top, although I agree it's helpful to add some of this info to the signature. I have tried low carbing briefly but end up going hungry all day : ( plus run out of ideas for meals and can't force my family to low carb with me ...

Absolutely, T2 is a different ball game, I'd definitely avoid if I was t2

But would you rather avoid some "spikey" food instead of changing the bolus time or carb ratio?

I'd say apart from over-treating a hypo, another reason to go hyper afterwards is: you injected the bolus too early for the type of food, so the insulin acts before the food has been processed, then after you've treated , the glucose from the meal kicks in and adds up with the hypo treatment. If...

this reminds me of that coke zero campaign where they reveal it was zero after the customer drank, imagine you are having a hypo and they play that trick on you..

I hadn't read it, good article thanks noblehead

I am a T1 since 3yrs. I read on the forum often people talking about how a certain food spike their blood sugar so they decide to avoid it. I thought spikes were avoided by timing the bolus correctly and with the right ratio, aren't they? Or do some foods spike BG more than their theoretical...

Hi, just read about this, not a lot of info, but interesting, I thought I'd leave a link. U nfortunately it is about Type 1 prevention, not cure as far as I understand. But It is ready for human testing. Yay http://yle.fi/uutiset/finnish_team_make ... gh/6893356...
