If you eat something and it spikes your blood within an hour...

The other point that goes with this, is that proteins take longer to digest and these can bring a bump sometime after. I do tests at 2 hrPP and then at 4hrPP and I get surprise bumps aftera meal with a lot of fats and protein in it. This is known generally as the Pizza Effect, and is more of interest to insulin users who need to make adjustments for protein content as well as carbs. I believe the ratio of 50% of protein converts to glucose, but would not swear on that, This is also more of a factor when on low carb intake where protein effects become more dominant.
 
No I didn't unfortunately
 
Well folks, had never even heard of "scratchings" until this forum and had to look them up, just plain old pork rinds, which we sometimes take canoeing...

Plain?
Old??
I'll have you know there is a very complicated process involved which takes pork skin, and under the cover of a top-secret procedure of dehydrating, frying, drying and salting renders it completely inedible...

All this talk prompted me to go shopping for a few bags of "scratchings" yesterday, and to my surprise I just realized after gnawing down a half sack last night that I forgot to take my blood glucose, hence perhaps my higher than normal FBG this morning (6.1 instead of appx 5.5).

So far as I am aware Pork Rinds are more like the puffed up ones that most here don't like (me included) proper pork scratchings have the fat still attached to the skin and I find are really hard to make at home.

Yes they are puffed up ones, so they are not the real thing? Just a shadow of their glorious forebears? I am sooo disappointed...

Here is useless fact #75...
I was talking to a friend about these "pork rinds" and right away he said "chicharrones!". I asked ? and was directed to internet search for them whereupon I discovered there is a whole culture based on cooking, flavouring and eating them, typically like this one... https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/homemade-chicharrones-pork-rinds-low-carb-and-gluten-free/ . Who'd a' thunk?
