[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2115399, member: 480869"] Please excuse my editing of your comment but the roll was the problem not the ham or tomato. The glycemic index doesn’t always reflect the effect the carbs will have. Many here find, whilst a rough guide, it can have some serious inaccuracies when tested by our meters. For now you need to test test and test some more. Anything like actual sugar, bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, other root vegetables possibly, (maybe even peas and sweet corn as despite being above ground veg they are sweeter than most other above ground), any cereals including oats, anything with flour (unless a nut flour), legumes like beans and chickpeas too check very carefully. No matter if it’s brown, or wholemeal too! These are likely to be the things driving the blood glucose up. Check 2 hrs after and if it’s more than 2mmol higher than before eating it had too many carbs. Either drop the carb items completely or reduce them significantly. Make up for the lack of calories with protein and healthy fats. Fat is not the demon you’ve been told it is. It won’t make you fat on its own and it won’t mess up your cholesterol either. Lots of evidence available in here to prove both points if you want it. [/QUOTE]
