Well I was hesitant to do a bq today as I didn't know how I'd react to all the different foods, but surprising bg level was 8.8 an hour afterwards so was really happy cause who wouldn't want a bq on a day like this...

We fire up the barbeque all year round here, mostly meat, fish and seafood, fried onion and tomato, salad stuff but not pasta or potato salad. A few low carb beers to help with the cooking and eating.
Just eat low carb stuff mainly same as normal food cooking inside.

Oh yes.
After a day like this, keep an eye on the insulin sensitivity. Food grazing & possibly alcohol?
Have fun & keep the meter handy.

Speaking of BBQ, my friend who is an amazing cook, grilled quartered green cabbage to accompany salmon and mixed grilled veggies. A quick side/side on the open flame and then into a tinfoil pouch with liberal amounts of butter garlic and black pepper. Grilled on the cooler part of the BBQ for 15 minutes or so till tender...it was to die for!

I forgot to mention corn salad, or cobs corn is a definite no go on barbeque.
The OP posts as a T1/lada. With a bit of forethought and planning, there's no reason at all why a T1/lada can't eat a barby corn on the cob.

I was talking about myself, it's up to the OP if he want to eat it.

Carrots on the barbie was my 2018 discovery.
Wow. Who knew charred carrots were some scrumptious?

Erm, maybe you should have made it clearer that you were talking about it from a T2 point of view, instead of needlessly worrying a newly dx'd T1 about it?

On the bq I had chicken drumsticks,chedder cheese burger in a wholemeal bun and bacon. Side salad bolied egg. 4 units before.. Rapidnovo 2hrs later 8.8....
Don't even ask me about later that evening.. 
I stay away from corn as a rule even though I make a chilli lentils pasta bake I'll normally add a bit of corn more for colour than anything.
