And I'm even later - but results are abysmal!!
Went the whole hog and had a take out . Chicken Jalfrezi, Nan, Pilau rice, Sagg and Onion baji.
Weighed out the rice - 75gms. and 25gms Nan. Had 2 bajis.
Results - with 3 units Apidra.
Pre meal = 5.8
1hr = 12.6 - Not good
2hr = 16.1 - Yikes
3hr=
4hr = 19.2 - OMG
Hate to think what the morning will be!!!!!!!!!
Hope you felt ok this morning Glodee. Just put that one down to experience and try changing something next time, although it is scary when you see readings like that isn't it? I don't know a lot about LADA, do you ever increase your insulin dose for a large meal?
Last weekend we had a takeaway curry and for a change I had daal instead of rice, and my results were really good - no big spike and it was really tasty too, so I'm going to try that again. These experiments are a really good way of trying out different ways to get rid of BG spikes, hope you can join in again some time!
Thanks guy's, - just going to check my log ok fasting reading was 9.1. Ouch. Not as bad as the worst I've had, but what really gets me about the curry is the incremental rise - usually with a healthy meal, the two hour mark is the spike, but not so with the (delicious) curry!! So not fair. I only had a couple of tablespoons of rice and a quarter of that naan. Next time will try tandoori - am convinced its the high fat keeps the glucose bubbling for hours!!
Hi Glodee,
I suspect its a combination of the lot! Curry itself doesnt have huge amount of carbs in - but it has lots of fat which delays absorption of food. Then the rice - nightmare for some as it can cause a big spike hours after eating. Naan bread is also a nightmare as its full of fat and white flour - both very difficult to get right. I would suggest that if you like curry, try making it yourself, without oil and have *either* rice or naan bread - but not both together. I cant remember - are you on insulin? Perhaps you havent got the dose right yet?Bev
