[QUOTE="hallii, post: 295644, member: 30624"] I try and eat anything a bit "naughty" with other more suitable food.it seems to "dilute" the effect a bit. The important thing about cake or anything else that is carby and sugary is only to have a small piece. By small I mean small enough not to push your BG up to much. You can only find out how big (or small) the slice of cake that you can eat is by testing two hours after eating. I allow myself all sorts of naughty treats, but they are small and I know that I can handle them without any spikes that go over 7 mmol. I have a theory (OK it's just an idea) that some small carby and sugary treats may actually give the old pancreas a bit of a prod and it wakes up a bit and produces a bit more insulin. As I said, just my idea. H [/QUOTE]
