Plain dark chocolate, 85% and above is good tho not too much with a portion of full fat Greek yoghurt, is splendid and so filling!Oh but aren't you lactose intolerant?Yes I am!But yoghurt?I have no idea, I just eat it and my blood levels stay normal!Sometimes, it just doesn't make sense! But why argue or deny yourself something that your body can cope?Or to put it another way, my tolerance to potatoes, wheat, oats, cheese is less than 5% of the total percentage value, whereas, rice and other carbs can be tolerated up to 10%!So keep on experimenting, keep on recording looking for trends and anomalies.The pie is very similar to the pizza issue! The crust should definitely spike you!, The meat is all protein but should not be enough to spike you further, the gravy, again shouldn't be too much, the fat off the meat should slow the digestion and lower the spike! But would it be enough?Maybe, then you factor in portion size, and your pre pie reading.Maybe a false reading or a bad strip?That is why we double check odd readings!Your insulin reading is low , even mine at one time was not that low!Ask your endo if a gliptin might help you, I took part in a trial to see if januvia (sitagliptin) would help with your insulin response, as it did mine! There is a YouTube video made years ago about the same thing!Key words on search, sitagliptin, reactive hypoglycaemia, I wish I could download or upload but being ancient (ish), I haven't a clue how!Keep asking keep in touch!You are doing great! Best wishes.</blockquote>
