Hi John,
it's very difficult for anyone to really give advise as I have already found out, due to your one line replies and half answers we need the whole story/information 🙂

From your one line reply this time I will hazard a guess you ate 2 crumptes (40 carbs) for a mid afternoon snack.
Now if that was the case it's way to much for a snack carb wise. Perhaps try one and make sure you are active, so it counter acts the carbs eaten. Either that or or have them for a meal.

He has said twice now that he had 2 crumpets and it caused him to rise to 17 from 6 or 7. This indicates it's far too much for his body to cope with (not surprising really). Suggesting he adds cheese or anything else to this consumption of crumpets is just compounding the load on his body. Find something else to eat if you must have a snack.

Hi John

threads can get a bit confusing and I think in this case your answer to one question is sometimes read as an answer to another question. If instead of clicking on reply you click on the first 'quote' button under the post you are replying to - this confusion will vanish.

I would also say that it can be hard when you are new to this to know what info to provide and what not.

Hope that you can find something to eat that agrees with you blood sugar wise.

can anyone tell me if crumpets are not alowed every time i have to m levals go high today thay went to 17? drunk water to bring them down again?

i had two with buter in the afternoon ?

Hi John

As others have suggested... it looks like 2 crumpets as a snack is too much for your metabolism.

In T1 terms it is not unusual for 10g of carbs to raise blood glucose levels by 3mmol/L

Your snack was 40g of carbs, so if no insulin was present (or if your insulin is late in being released because your 'first phase' insulin response is on the fritz) you've got a 12mmol/L rise of rapid release carbs likely to hit between an hour or two after you've eaten them,

From a starting point of 7mmol/L that could have pushed to to 19mmol/L if your insulin was really slow off the mark.

I'm sure those numbers are way off the 'reality' as far as a T2 is concerned (who will still have some of their own insulin being released) but from a rapid carbs perspective - and crumpets will be fast - the rise you saw makes perfect sense.

I'd save crumpets for treats from now on? Or try just one and see what happens?
