[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1157338, member: 240838"] It was Caesar dressing. Mostly fat. I didn't eat the cheese or the croutons obviously. I am ok with a few 2 or 3 stalks of asparagus if I have no other carbs or salad. . Broccoli and cauliflower are worse for me. Green beans too. I eat small meals and have to have enough fat in them to keep the spike low and slow or just stay steady. Low fat meals spike me. Did you have any fat in your meal? I find fat to be the dominant player. Not enough and spike, too much low then high but I am on insulin so if you're not on meds you shouldn't get the low. Sometimes we get the weirdest reactions from foods we shouldn't. Personally I have to watch my protein portions too as they will spike me as much as carbs but I think this is more prevalent in T1's. Although I did see it for a few years as I was progressing. All macros matter and need to balance each other in my case [/QUOTE]
