I bought some rollmops (pickled herring) on the weekend in a 'luxury' marinade of white vinegar, onions and sugar. The nutritional breakdown touted carbs as being 24%. Bearing in mind that I adore these particular rollmops and I thought most of that carb would be sugar floating around in the vinegar I decided to buy some to experiment. this is how it went:
Before eating - 4.8
30 mins after eating - 8.2
60 mins after eating - 5.1
90 mins after eating - 4.3
I was shocked how high my BG went, but equally shocked as to how quickly it fell. Based on these figures are these something I could safely eat or should I avoid because of the 8.2 spike. I normally like to keep things well in the 5s, 6s at most. Funnily enough, had I not tested till an hour later, as I usually would, I would have been happily scoffing them all!
Thanks
