I just ate a big pizza, 140g carbs, followed by a bowl of Kelly's clotted cream ice cream 😱 Let's see what grief it brings me, I deserve everything The Fairy throws at me! Well, it's probably at least a year since I had a pizza and I did enjoy it 🙂 Can't see me having another in a hurry though!

To much watching man vs food has given you the munchies :D

Alan just because you ran as the diabetic fairy it does not mean you can hog out I predick 13.2
 
Ha, Steff's right - "Northerner V's Pizza"

Be nice if you got away with it with your BGs, here's hoping 🙂
 
Yeah, does us good to have a blow out, well I like to believe it does.:D
 
Well, I was 6.9 before eating and 2 hours later I am 4.6 so it looks like I might go low and then high later as the insulin runs out and the food takes its time to digest. I did think about splitting my injection, but haven't needed to in the past. We'll see - I will test again in an hour 🙂
 
Haha! Just tested again 3 hours after eating and I'm....4.6! Obviously, pizza and ice cream is the ideal meal for my blood sugars! :D
 
I wish it was the ideal meal for my blood sugars 😉

Glad you enjoyed your 'binge' though :D

I'm not proud of it and time will tell if it was a bad move! I just fancied it for a change and you can't be perfect every day can you?
 
Absolutely not - I felt sorry for myself/my body today (hit 31.7 last night and a whopping 2.5 today) so I've pigged out on nachos and chocolate buttons. Not something I do unless I'm feeling pretty grotty!

Aw Shiv, that's quite a swing! Hope things are much more stable for you tomorrow.
 
An hour later and I'm up to 5.5. I'm guessing there's going to be some sort of late spike involved, so it will be interesting to see what I wake up to in the morning...

Aren't nachos usually served with cheese or salsa?!?! 😱

Sorry, couldn't resist -- reading your post gave me such a bizarre mental image. 😉
 
Well, I was 5.6 before bed and woke to 5.9 this morning, so obviously I am immune to the curse of the pizza! Can't believe I got the insulin dose spot on either! 🙂
 
Hehehe! Funnily enough I think this is what HCPs fail to appreciate sometimes. The times when you knowingly go mad food wise and see brilliant levels, when as CD says, other times when you are trying to eat sensibly and your BGs go haywire.

Maybe it was your outing as the D-Fairy Alan, she won't mess with one of her own 🙂
 
It proves that you can pretty much eat what you like, as long as you know your ratios,carb count and take into consideration the GI. It is clear that Northerner did all of those things, I'm amazed at how many diabetics say 'I can't eat this or that', obviously Pizza and Ice cream shouldn't be your staple diet.....but now and then you have to say what the hell! 🙂

God you are soooo annoying! :D😛😉

I haven't managed to work out the right way to have pizza and split my dose so don't bother much - I'm avoiding all high carb meals at the moment anyway but in the future I hope I can work it out like this!!
