At bedtime (about 4 hours after eating) I was 4.9 (tested twice to confirm and 5.2 this morning)From what I have read the initial spike was a bit high although not unknown for non-diabetics, but from 2hours onwards was within non-diabetic range (under 6.6 at 2 hours). I had a very large helping of meat and potato pie without the pastry. The gravy in the pie was made with Bisto and Oxo. The spuds were diced, the meat was steak and kidney.  I am always higher at 1 hour than 2 hours, which is why I test both. The 2 hour rise was just 1mmol/l. I am not on any meds, so I think my own insulin did its job to bring me back down as quickly as a non-diabetic. I certainly wouldn't have this type of meal every evening, but I am pleased my insulin coped with it.</blockquote>
