What is your most "forbidden" food that makes your bs out of whack?
For me, the soft, hot, sticky, white steamed rice....it makes my bs level to go up to almost 400....yikes!

Sad, but true: I LOVE oatmeal on a cold winter morning But it spikes me. Wish I could eat it.
but I don't... Now I do love walnuts and cashews and pecans, and just a few fill me up!!!
God BLess,

Pasta does the same thing for me. I used to bolus for it, crash an hour later and treat the low, then be crazy high a few hours later. Finally figured out that that I just seem to digest pasta slowly (maybe because it's low GI?). So now I do a combo bolus on my pump, take about 50% of the bolus and spread the rest over about 3.5 hours. THat seems to be working. I was glad to have figured this out because I LOVE pasta!

Rice. My system metabolizes rice like it was little kernals of sugar. If i try and bolus for it, I crash later. So i just don't eat it.

I have a really tough time with french fries. I think it has something to do with that fact that they are deep fried.

On the contrary - deep frying should retard absorption because of all the oil (fat). I would predict that if you take an equal amount of baked potato chips and french fries, you would end up reaching your peak faster with the baked potato than the fried potato.
