what happened?

[hankjam]

Tonight I recorded my highest BG. I normally test before dinner and normally in the low 5's.
An hour after chicken, some brown rice, a load of coleslaw and saurkraut and glass of red wine, I was 9.1, my highest reading to date. tested again and got 8.2.
Two hours after I got 6.0 and 5.8.
Last time I had brown rice it didn't go above 7.0.....
Puzzled.
Cheers

When are you testing? I would have thought one hour and two hour would be enough. I have spiked eating coleslaw before due to the carrot in it.

those numbers don't sound overly diabetic specially if you had rice, brown or otherwise.

Those readings look fine to me because at 2 hours you had dropped to normal, just like a non-diabetic would. Everyone will spike at 1 hour after eating rice. Maybe you just had a little more than normal.

Thanks for the replies. I've really changed what I eat, dropping bread, potatoes and pasta entirely and only a small amount of rice and just seeing what the responses are, so tonight's were a bit of a shock.

I do finely chopped cauliflower instead of rice now. I think its just as nice. Just don't over cook it.
