Party carbs!

[Redkite]

My son's just spent the afternoon at a friend's party (giant Scalextric track, so they all had a great time 🙂. Unfortunately BG before the mid-way food was 14 (excitement? sitting in car for an hour to get there?), and the food was deep pan pizza (cheese, pepperoni, etc.), so a bit tricky diabetes-wise. Then when I turned up to drive them home, he was clutching a huge slab of chocolate cake. His friend's Mum had kept the box - 42g carb per 1/24th of the cake. How many did you cut it into, I asked. Twelve! 😱 an 84g slice of cake! I didn't look at the fat and cals! So I've had to nobly eat half of it myself, and he's running a 150% basal and is lined up to do some gardening. BGs for the rest of the evening are anyone's guess. 🙄

I'm not sure I've ever eaten 84g carbs for 'pudding' 😱 Just realised that the entire cake was ONE KILOGRAM of carbs!!!!

Hope his levels stay steady and manageable! 🙂

That was quite some cake!

It was a Tesco's cake, good job they are sponsoring DUK this year!

BG just done - him 17.3 . Me (for interest, since we both ate the same cake 2 hours ago) - 6.3. Not for the first time I wish he had a working pancreas.
