Thought id have a treat for my tea last night and have a chicken curry with rice... mmm nice some may say may say... but not for my BS levels!. Read up on eating rice and have been lead to believe that rice is very easy to digest with a high GI factor and normally digests within 1-2.5 hours which i thought would cause a quick spike in glucose levels. Just before tea last night was quite high readings at 8.7 so gave a correction dose with the insulin needed to cover my meal. Two hours post meal reading was 10.2 .... success I thought as normally they are about 13-18 mmols!. Anyways.... i thought Iwould just check at the 2 and a half hour mark post meal and they had plumited to 6.3 mmols... inorder to prevent a further drop i gave myself 27g carb snack.... an hour later my levels were 11.1. As at this stage i still had IOB i predicted that by bed time my BS would be in the region of 6.5 - 7 mmols.... not the case!! 2 hours later my levels were 16.8 mmols - as at this time i had no IOB i gave a 2 unit correction which should have brought me down to acceptable levels considering the possibility of a slight drop in the night - however by 5am my BS was 14.2mmols!!! is anyone else effected this way by rice?? - if so how do you deal with it?? would be interested in knowing how rice really does effect BS... is there an initial rise... followed by a drop...followed by a delayed spike??? I am totally at a loss.... my hope is to understand the effect as i really do not want to give up on one of the very few "luxury" foods i have left!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite14" alt=":arghh:" title="Arghh    :arghh:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":arghh:" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
