I know there are lots of problems with takeaway pizza and that its best avoided altogether - but................ succumbed last night, and all i can say the diabetic fairy must've been busy elsewhere all night!!

Before food: 4.1, after 2 slices, took 6 humalog, another 2 slices pizza and garlic pizza, took another 4 units. Reading before bed 6.6, took usual 6 insulatard. Up at 4.30 and decided to test - 9.2. Up properly at 8am, blood now 7.1 ! Well chuffed!!

And the pizza was really scrummy!
 
You seemed to have pulled it off very well.......................you should try it again to see if the fairy was on a break or it was just good timing on your part..........

well done........

If you can fine tune it a wee bit more you can eat it everyday, but no day is the same when it comes to the bodies hormones.....:(
 
SOunds like you got the balance right and the big plus is you enjoyed the pizza with nor problems afterwards...
 
WELL DONE!!!

I think I'll try this the next time I eat it. I've been avoiding it since I was carb-counting, but maybe it's time to give it a go.

thanks for sharing and giving the rest of us hope!!
 
Thanks all, the results were certainly encouraging, but as we all know, there's no guarantee that next time will be a success!
