Hi... wondered if someone could help me out... I enjoy the occasional hot Indian dish, namely vindaloo. I try to keep it to a minimum because of the rice, nan etc. However, it still wreaks havoc on my BG levels. I've looked at the amount of carbs and adjust accordingly yet I still get readings into the mid or upper teens. This can last for a day or more sometimes. Bottom line, I've decided that I will keep my delicious vindaloo to a special occasion such as my birthday....
What I'm wondering is does the spice of the food have an impact as well? I've heard that your liver has to processes very spicy food in a similar way it has to process alcohol so I thought maybe my BG went up due to my liver dumping glucose as part of this process. I could be very wrong but thought I would ask...
Thanks everyone.
