We were out with the millions of other Easter shoppers & really couldn't think of anything to get for lunch, so went to Maccy D's. I had a McTasty with bacon (no fries). I don't know what my BG was before, but 2 hours after, just 6.1! Could be down to the fact that it was 50% fat..😱
 
You were lucky I had the same and my level went up to 11.5 ! :0
 
Mind you I also had a latte ...perhaps that was the problem x
 
How interesting that everybody is different...YMMV...if I was in MaccyDees I'd just say sod it and have the lot. I haven't learnt yet I'm afraid. 😱
 
Haha ... I know what you mean ditto x but I did just have the big tasty ... I nearly fell over when I took my BG after! I haven't had one that high in ages ... Just goes to show that I must not get complacent x
 
I'm wondering if I've gained a tolerance to bread. The last Maccy D's I had a year ago sent me up to 7.9, but that did include a small fries. Even that wasn't too bad.
