[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2125909, member: 503481"] Hello, welcome! Carbs and cals is a good starting point for carb counting, have you tried bertie online course? [URL]https://www.bertieonline.org.uk/[/URL] I think it's the panini roll that spiked your BG, along with chips. However both of those sound really fattening, fat slows absorption of carbs. (fat in cheese and chips) We have to split dose for high fat foods. Also with your timing of your insulin, your insulin may not have started working yet so food spiked your BG first. So there is a lot to learn, please speak to a dietitian for more information but Bertie online course would be good to help you get started. It's also best to bear in mind that we all spike after eating carbs, whether you stay high or not is another hurdle. The problem with carbs and cals is it is a rough estimation, depending on your carb to insulin ratio, you might need another tweak. [/QUOTE]
