Pizzas are notoriously difficult for people with diabetes to deal with I gave up eating them a few years ago now.

Hope your levels settle back to something less scary as the day progresses! 🙂

I've given up on takeaway pizzas too. Last one I had took 4 hours to peak.

I've found if I want a pizza I need to inject an hour AFTER eating because it takes so long to spike

It will soon stabilise Wayne but I understand the concern.

When I see the pizza shop leaflets pushed through my door now, I think they'd be better just dropping bags of sugar on the mat!
They're evil in their deliciousness! 😱

If you fancy a pizza, why not try @Mark Parrott's recipe for Fathead Pizza? 🙂

That's not a bad level now Wayne. Just easy on the carbs today and plenty of cold water helps me.

Hi I dont think food can reduce it but drinking more, preferably water will help.
I love pizza, so do have it occasionally.

I eat the Morrisons pizza the Tex Mex is my favourite. It states 80 carbs and I do 8 units and that's spot on. When I go to bed four hours later my readings are usually 6.0 or thereabouts.

before lunch now 6.5

Papa Johns is a nightmare because of the fat content and the way it affects the carbs. A slice on a large PJ's is about 50g of carbs and it's very easy to eat 4 or 5 in one go. The last time I had PJs I needed the equivalent of four days' worth of bolus insulin in 3 hours just to get back into single figures. It just sits in your stomach pumping out sugar for hours.

I always make my own pizza's home made base with a mix of plain and wholemeal strong flour, tomato topping with home grown tomatos that we cook down and freeze with mozarella and choritzo with anchovie topping. MMMM never have aproblem with BG going awol .

You could try using the be free wraps as a base if you want to make your own. The sweet potato ones are good too. Thin as a base but you could eat all of it

When I used to eat pizzas I'd inject twice for them. Once before the meal and then once an hour or 2 later - because of the all the fat it slowly but surely raises sugars over the course of many hours. Don't bother with em now cause it's too much faff =P

There are lots of low carb pizza base recipes on t' internet. My fave (as mentioned above in @Northerner 's post) is the fat head pizza. Needs very good parchment paper to roll it out on, as it sticks like glue. A cauli pizza base also works well, but you can't pick it up.
