[QUOTE="Chris24Main, post: 2700306, member: 585131"] I've only just stopped wearing a CGM after having one on constantly for nearly a year. I'm eating a high-fat low carb diet now, so my BG is nearly always flat, but I'd gotten to the point that the couple of recent spikes I did have (for eating something I was unaware was full of Pea Starch, and for eating something that really was too good to be true) I felt before I even thought to look on the app, suddenly feeling tired, thirsty.. Its the rapid change that affects me, and the spike itself can come and go within a half hour - there was one time my wife was testing a CGM at the same time, and we were having wildly different responses to the same food - believe that we really are all unique when it comes to this kind of thing.. One very simple thing to try though, is have your curry first, before the rice, it will slow down the absorption of carbs, so less sugar.. either way, your liver will be done within a couple of hours - there really shouldn't be any spiking later, so to speak; but honestly, there is nothing to compare to seeing for yourself what your own body is doing.. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
