[macast]

hi Marier.... I buy the one with extra pineapple which is 500g in total..... the carbs as listed are 19.9g (of which 16.5 are sugars) per 100g. probably really bad.... but I enjoy it with a small portion of brown rice and extra veggies as a treat 😱

ps.... and chicken in it too lol

 

[Marier]

Thank you ohhh dear is having it really bad will it upset my sugars ???

doesn't upset mine too much if I add chicken and eat with a small portion of brown rice and I never have a dessert course after ;-)

don't know how it affects anyone else. but then we are all different. and I suppose it depends how large a portion you have too. I eat about a third of it 😱

I am havn roughly 100 gms of boild rice ( mayb smaller)as also having small portion mayb 50 gms chips Got my book out and wrote down what 100gm ,200gms and 300 gms portion is and carbs beside it so i know iv givn myself the correct Insulin to cover and will see how BG is 4 hrs after eating but may do a test 2 hrs after eating
Thanks

One word of caution when it comes to the carbs in pasta and rice make sure you know whether you are looking at the cooked weight or raw weight. Carbs per 100g is less for the cooked product than the raw due to water being part of the cooked weight.

just had Uncle Ben's Sweet and Sour with extra Pineapple. fried 200g chicken breasts in olive oil and added 150g mushrooms and then the jar of S&S...... had a third of it with 100g of brown rice

BG reading was 5.0 before eating..... and was 8.3 two hours later

I don't think this is much of a spike .... is it?

 

[Northerner]

I'd be happy with that macast! 🙂

 

[Marier]

done my chicken in egg and flour and deep fryd had 100 g boiled rice and 200gms of sweet n sour sauce
so rice = 3cp,s
sauce = 4cp s
chips = 2.5 = 9.5

but had 9 1/2 inits of QA that was at 6.15pm

8.15 pm BG 4.1 had 1 cp just tested it 9.30 pm and its 9.4
did i have correct amount of QA to carbs
???????

If you don't know what carbs is in something before you buy it you can usually find most things on the Sainsbury's website where you can find things like Uncle Ben's. http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/groceries/index.jsp

Maybe your levels are still rising after your insulin has finished peaking, I used to always split my injection if having chinese/indian/pasta/rice/pizza. 3/4 of dose +10% up front and 1/4 an hour later, always worked for me when I was on MDI...the only way I could avoid spiking.......before my pumping days! 🙂

 

[Marier]

Possibly but thanks is it very confusing at time s 🙂
