It also goes to reason, this is why I think some type 2's think that
protein
doesn't effect them.  As a T2, you have insulin to cover the small rise one
would see with Protein after it gets converted.  As a T1, we don't have any
natural insulin to cover the rise, therefore we see the effects *IF* we
don't
shoot to cover it when it hits, which is usually around 5-6hrs from what
I've
tested to see.  Same with non-diabetics, food effects them the same way
as it does us, they just have enough insulin to cover the effects so their
bg's
don't rise like a diabetics does.

About two hours, same as any other meal.  I haven't thought about
testing again later specifically because of pizza, but I may next time
I have it.

Which bit? the timing? I eat roughly every two hours of awake time. The type
and amount of carb is important too. Before breakfast a small glass of
chilled tomato juice sustains me for a 45 minute run with my dog. I can't
eat a lot of carb at breakfast without spiking so I roughly eat around 10 gr
carb plus some protein. 2 hours later I am ravenous so I usually have a
smoothie made of plain low fat yoghurt blended with brewer's yeast,
strawberries or frozen blueberries and some Splenda.

Next snack is around 2 hours later and is often just an apple or peach or
mandarin, depending on the season.

Lunch is next, where I almost always have a large plate of salad veggies
plus some salmon or tuna, occasionally some cold deli - ham, roast beef or
pork etc (vinaigrette dressing or some mayo).

First afternoon snack is often a rye crispbread spread with cottage cheese
and tomato slices.

Next snack might be fruit again, a pear or peach etc.

Then comes dinner - always a large variety of low carb vegetables cooked,
3-4 ounces of protein, more if it is fish which is often, plus a side salad
with vinaigrette.

Evening snack might be a low fat low carb yoghurt or a bowl of leftover
veggies eaten with a sprinkle of dried parmesan after heating. Before bed I
have lately been eating 4 dried apricot halves.

In between I drink plenty of water and the occasional cup of tea (usually
breakfast).

Basically I make meals around low fat animal proteins (sometimes beans
though), mostly seafood, some eggs, some low fat cheese plus occasional brie
or fetta, olives avocados, walnuts, low fat yoghurts, low carb veggies, raw
and cooked, salsas, hommus, some fruits, olive oil (stir fry and
vinaigrettes), cholesterol lowering margarines, rye crackers in moderation.
I aim for a wide variety especially in the vegetables, different colours and
lots of fibrousy vegetables.

An example of so far today:

Breakfast was slice of low carb grain bread spread with cholesterol lowering
margarine and sugar free jam. Plus a soft boiled egg and cup of tea with a
dash of skimmed milk.

First snack was a strawberry smoothie (yoghurt, strawberries, brewer's yeast
and Splenda).

Second snack was an apple and bite of chocolate bar - Peppermint Crisp - a
daughter bought for me but I refused it so she it all but a bite :)

Lunch I just finished. I had about 1/3 cup of spigot bolegnese (the very
thin spigot), a pile of raw mushrooms, 2 celery sticks, some iceburg lettuce
and mayo. The vegetable part wasn't as highly nutritious as usual but I had
been on the go doing things around the house all morning and felt like
something quick and easy. I will pick up later in the day on anything I have
missed nutrition-wise.

My daughter melted full fat cheese over her bolegnese but I had mine "bare".
I fully expect a rise from the spigot rather soon (something I try to
avoid). Yep just tested, less than half an hour since I finished eating and
I have gone from 5.2 to 7.8. I don't eat spigot much because of this so I
sorta expected a significant rise.

I have a lot on this afternoon (vacuuming, more hanging out washing etc,
plus a couple of bathrooms to clean) so that will get me back to normal
pretty soon. I just don't like having these kinds of rises frequently.  I
probably should have just made the effort to open a can of salmon.

I am not sure what the afternoon snacks will be yet but for dinner my kids
want the new Dominos Meat Pie Pizzas which look just like a Shepherd's Pie
which they love! I will probably have some baked fresh salmon with the usual
veggies and salad and a nibble of that pizza to know what it tastes like :)
