Can any one explain why Fish and Chips would mess up my sugar levels so much? Had a feeling they were having an effect so last night tested before (6.4) and two and half hours later (15.9)...so no more fish and chips but don't really understand why they hit me so hard.
On metformin and gliclazide

Any ideas.

Regards
Jeremy

UK’s favorite and best food(fish and chips) use to be mine too, about 13 years ago!

New potatoes are safer than old ones and if you bought your fish and chips in a chippy then you certainly got old ones and you don't know which type.

That's interesting. I might try some Jersey Royals this week and see how my blood sugar reacts.

Fish&chips its a worst combination you can imagine for diabetics. Lots of carbs+lots of fat=disaster. The same about pizza. Normally i take 3 or 4 units for my normal meal. For fish and chips 11 wasnt enough :shock:

I find fish and chips have a two stage on sugar levels as batter is slower than chips at absorbing into the body. Your right to increase and even if you take too much Insulin it's simply to fix, as managing low sugars is simpler to manage than highs.
 
I take it easy on the chips (usually only eat half of them) and also don't eat much of the batter - and I find that doesn't have too big an effect on my blood sugar.
