I went to my aunt's for dinner tonight. It was a bit of a blowout! I had:

several thick slices of delicious crumbly roast beef
2 yorkshire puddings
loadsa roast potatoes
a few carrots
lashings of gravy
washed down with red wine

followed by
a nice big wedge of apple pie and cream
and a couple of choccies with my coffee.

came back expecting a new record BG - and my 2 hours after reading was 8.5! HUH??
 
You lucky ducky lol i only have to sniff roasties or a pud and i go to double figures, well done although not reccommended every day 😉
 
Ah ha well that is the roast dinner levels for you. What I have always found is that there are hardly any carbs in a roast dinner, it is generally the potatoes and yorkshire (I'm talking about a kid's roast dinner mind you), no idea how high you piled the carrots etc 🙂

My daughter was hypo twice about an hour ish before dinner today and so I didn't even bother bolusing her for it at all. I've never done that but we had a long drive home and I couldn't stop and she'd had two hypos. She had no pudding.

She has stayed at 8 and 9 since lunch time and I just checked her and she is 7.9.

Your higher level now I would imagine would be from the pudding you had and the fat content delaying the rise. I hope you are ok and the metformin does its job. 🙂
 
I have the same thing when I go out - the excitement lowers my blood sugar. Maybe you have the same thng!
 
I think Adrienne probably had the answer. It's the fat delaying the blood glucose hit would be my guess too.

You've got several sources of fat in a roastie...

The taddies, the gravy, the cream and chocies..

All slows the asorbtion down some what...

As a T1 and my pump, I use a multi-wave have a small start dose then streach the rest over about 2 hours, seems to work a treat with me...

Just look at this way, It's not every day you'll having a treat, so a little bit out isn't going condem you just yet..

P.S

I dread tea at my mother-in-laws, as it's guranteed to muck up weeks off good control in one fair swop what ever I try... For some reason the carbs she supplies act totally differently to any other I've come across😱
