Well, today I had the end slice of a wholemeal loaf as toast. Probably half as much again in carbs as a single slice, so about 30 grams. BG has been pretty high all day.
But, silly me, I decided to go ahead with the frozen potato experiment and made fish cakes with left-over fish (salmon and haddock), left over roasted onions, frozen mashed potato (about 1/4 potato to fish and onion) and one egg to hold it all together. Tasted great. I made 6 smallish cakes and kept 3 back for tomorrow. BG rose to 15.9 but now - 31/2 hours later, has only dropped to 14.6. It might work for chips, but it doesn't seem to work for mash! I enjoyed them though.
And that's with my usual extra large dose of insulin.
