Im wondering if its the combination of foods together that helped my numbers...lemon juice on the salad ...yoghurt ?

Acidic foods like vinegar and lemon juice help to lower the GI of other foods.

Whats in Thai rice?Bev

 

[Adrienne]

Well I have bought Tilda's Thai Jasmine Rice and on the packet it says :

UNcooked rice : 100g is 79.5 cho

UNcooked rice : serving of 62.5g is 49.9 cho

Think I will cook two servings of 62.5 and just divide them up and see what happens.

 

[bev]

Thats a lot different from the rice i have got. Uncle Bens white basmati is

30cho per 100g.Bev

p.s. Just realised your quoting the uncooked amounts - i am quoting the cooked.

Hiya Bev

Just seen the results so far for Alex and you said you were surprised by the 4.1

This sometimes happens with Jessica and lots of others. Did you do the bolus beforehand? We do a bolus for rice afterwards. What happens is that rice doesn't start working for a while. If you bolus before then the insulin starts working before the rice does hence the low and sometimes with Jessica a hypo.

I could never understand why she hypoed after eating rice but that is why I bolus after now.

 

[bev]

Hya!
Ooops! That explains it then! Also he did have a yoghurt of 15 carbs and he did the bolus straight away at 50/50 - so probably there was too much up front and should have maybe done a 30/70 and waited until he had eaten some of it? Will see what his results are later. He absolutely LOVED the curry - so we will be having that again soon i think! Poor J having the hypo's - any particular reason for them?😱🙂Bev

Yep country dancing after school !!! An hour of vigorous dancing, I just watch !! She was on a temp basal of 20% for two hours but still the hypos (or and I gave her two glucotabs half way through as she was 6.2 and jumping around.


Jessica had yoghurt and bolused for it all.

Adrienne, good numbers up to now - but i wonder if J might go up a little later? If not - you have it spot on with your dual wave etc. I am interested that you set the 0% basal aswell as the coke - i have never thought of that as i thought it took a couple of hours to have any effect?🙂Bev
