I'm just working things out, (dx about a month ago), but Chinese takeaway seems to have a bad effect, as does Pizza, and for some reason this mornings breakfast sent the levels absolutely through the roof (up to about 18) which is odd as it was the same breakfast that I had yesterday, and the day before that...

Bread does it for me - any kind is bad, but a French baguette is the worst! Only one little bit sends me up - and I LOVE it! Fruit is not good, either. Only have juice to stave off a hypo!
It's soooo cruel - I love a baguette! 😱

Bread, especially white, wholegrain isn't so bad. Pasta, spuds, bananas ( ), parsnips, whole milk and fully loaded or diet fizzy drinks - it doesn't seem to matter which. On the plus side I can eat as many berries and sweet potatoes as I want and not get too high. I've been doing the low carb thing since diagnosis and I've noticed that if I have a 'day off' and eat more carbs than I would normally my numbers shoot through the roof.
