so was very weak tonight (for the first time in 3 months!) and had a small portion of fish & chips, and a white bread roll.

Was fully expecting awful blood levels, but 60 mins was 6.7 (up from 4.5) and 90 mins 6.2. Presumably the spike is yet to come... I'll keep testing (and feeling guilty) for the rest of the night.

The fat content will have slowed your spike down. Works every time.

Yep that's what I figured :-/, will be interesting to see how much it affects my morning reading tomorrow.
 
Seems an occasional treat is in order with not too much damage done. :D
 
That's interesting, Greg. Not a bad result at all.🙂
 
Good result fo you greg
 
I don't have much of an issue with fish & chips either, although I wouldn't be able to manage bread as well. I also have to take my insulin after eating due to how slowly it digests.

An occasional treat is good for the soul, it's the waistline that suffers!
 
I plan on trying fish & chips at some point. Will probably get just one portion & share it with the wife. Our chippy is very generous with its portions.
 
I have fish and chips now and again but limit the chips to 100g but eat a whole battered cod. Lovely treat now and again and worth a small hike I think
 
Show off!! :D:D

OK then you are just very lucky, I dread to think what our results would be!
 
I might give it a go on Friday. I'll post the results on here.
 
I don't eat fish so it's just chips from the chippy but tend to avoid them as they play havoc with my bg levels. Last time I had them in the evening my blood glucose officially entered lunar orbit during the night. I tried splitting my NovoRapid dose but obviously got it wrong. With a pump I could have extended or gone multiwave. 🙄

Don't have them very often but I don't seem to have any real problems with oven chips at home. Probably not as much fat in them.
