Message: <blockquote data-quote="EBe66" data-source="post: 2533892" data-attributes="member: 557197">Catinahat puts it quite nicely, But if I may a few examples from myself. Last week or so I bought a rack of semi prepared marinated spareribs so I already knew it would not be the best of choices but I cut it in half and had half on day one. It raised my bs by about 4 points. I ate the other half the next day. Same food, same time of day, same amount. Hardly a bump to see let alone a spike!Last year when I had just started using the Libre sensors and had just bought an air fryer I made homemade french fries, not a spike to be seen! the next couple of times the same. I thought I had found the holy grail of diabetic fries <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Then the time after that it spiked like crazy! And the next time and the next.What do I take away from these experiences? Your(my) body apparently does not always react the same way to the same food and the food you buy might not always be the same despite being the same stuff from the same brand. In case of the fries I think the type of potato may have changed, same bag different potato.Having said that, when you see what something like pasta does to your bs, you just know you don't have to test it an other time to be sure...Conclusion: The more/longer you test the better you can predict the result. But there always will be surprises I think.</blockquote>
