Hi I found out I have type 2 on the 10 th of April since then I have lost 2 stone in weight and have been managing my blood sugar well I am visiting home for a month and decided I would treat myself twice while I was home once to a bag of chip shop chips and once to a custard tart. Well today I had the chips after 1 hour I was 110 after two hours I was 167 I know really bad I am going to test after three hours and see what it says then. I have been finding it very hard the last month and was really looking forward to my two treats now I feel I may have done some damage. Should I be worried about this.
 
9.7 is a bit higher than wanted, but the fat delays the spike, so it's not really a 2 hr reading like a quick acting carb would be, [did I explain that ok?]
but it's quite good after a bag of chips, so next time have 3/4 of a bag and see how that goes.
 
Chips!!!!! Aaaaagggghhhhh! I remember them! Heaven! Maybe one day!
 
When I was on my full dose of insulin (16 morn and 16 eve) I found I could 'get away' with fish and chips from the local chippy once a week - provided I didn't eat the batter on the fish; had just a handful of chips and a large dollop of mushy peas. My wife would buy the smallest bag of chips and most of them went out for the Starlings.

I also found I could handle a couple of small boiled potatoes or even a couple of small roast pots - provided I had a couple of gallons of veg to go with them. If on a Monday (in the early days) we had cold roast and roast spuds (no veg) my bgs went haywire

Since I've quartered my insulin I haven't dared try roast pots or chips.

Tested again after 3 hours and was 157 went to bed then this morning I was back to 87 .Back to eating the right foods.
 
All I did yesterday was to talk about fish and chips - I swear I didn't actually have any, or anything else for that matter.

By way of revenge my bg shot up to 9.2mmol/l (about 166 mg/dl) last thing yesterday!
