Why are you surprised? :-)

It's the old "Pizza Effect" trick, 99...

Try thin crust next time. Stuffed crust is usually two
layers of crust with the stuffing between, thus double
carbs.

Or even try ultra-thin crust, home-made:

You might want to check at the 3 or 4 hour mark.  Pizza often causes a
delayed spike.

Thanks, Julie, at al. three hour was 162. This was the first time I've
tried stuffed crust. I prefer thin crust (Sicilian style), with more sauce
and more Mozzarella.

I tried the stuffed crust once many years ago.  Can't say that I cared for
it but I'm not a pizza lover to begin with.

I'm a Sichy from da Bronx. I started eating pizza at Joe's Pizzeria on
McKlean Ave in Yonkers, when I was around 15. All he made was thin crust.
Pizza and Schaeffer's!

Yeah.  The pizza in NY was actually good for pizza.  And it was cheap.  I
used to take Angela out for it about once a week.  We'd get either that or
ravioli.  You could get pizza by the slice there.  Very uncommon thing here.
We'd get that and big salads with balls of mozzarella on them.

Now I have to make do with my rice crust and rice cheese.  Not as good as
the real thing but at least I'm not allergic.

Sounds interesting. Do you have a recipe? What's rice cheese?

Yes they tend to bite back when you're not looking.

Purely in the interest of science, you understand, I trialled some
pizza recently, since I'd been doing so well for so long.

I cut a small thin crust pepperoni pizza in half, mother had a third
of the half and I had the rest, washed down witth Chianti and with a
large helping of green leafy salad, followed by my evening meds
including 200 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid and my Standard Walk Round The
Block, not stopping to chat with any neighbours, cats or dogs.

I tested four hours out and never went over 6.9 (125) and was mostly
in the low fives (90 - 100)

BUT

I really didn't enjoy it very much

But half the fun of walking around the neighborhood is chatting with
assorted neigbors & patting the dogs. Patting dogs is also "good medicine."

Having your own is better. Instant exercise partner, motivator and
all-round joy.

When I retire, I'm going to get a Jack Russell and take up unicycling or
maybe rollerblading.

The ultimate goal is train the dog to a whistle and then head out on the
hundreds of miles of bike paths we have in the region on wheels of one
sort or another. Good for both of us.

Buy some ritalin flavoured dogfood, you'll need it (a neighbour has
not one but two Jack Russells)

Yes but it can seriously get in the way of exercise, at least with
these dark evenings I can *hide* from the chatty ones unless of course
I'm looking for an excuse to stop for a while.

Mind you I can be just as bad, I always tell people I won't be
insulted if they get bored and walk away when I'm chatting . . . <G>

I can do a slice or two of thin crust Papa Murphy's (and, of course,
leave aside the extra crust) without spiking.

That's been my experience, too, Ray. I hold myself to one slice, because I
have a daughter and three grandkids here who love pizza. ;-)

With thin crust, my dog gets the extra crust.

Your partner should trade you some extra toppings...

This shouldn't be surprising.  A large, thin crust pizza, has about one
pound of dough in the crust.  Which is the same amount of flour as half a
loaf of white bread.   The sauce typically has quite a bit of added sugar.
So, just think of a slice as two or three slices of white bread, about three
tablespoons of jam, and some cheese.

Hmm.  Going to spike just about anyone.

When I have pizza, I try to get one that has a thin crust, no sauce, (olive
oil and a bit of sliced garlic instead, fresh tomatoes, a bit of Canadian
Bacon, and cheese.

I think every diabetic, needs to at least read some cook books to get an
idea of how much of what is in common foods.  I have found that, the fact I
learned to cook form scratch, makes it lots easier to keep things under
control.  Both at home, and when I eat out.

the dough has flour and sugar in it.  sugar added to the sauce, as
well as it it's own carbs from the tomatoes.

a bit more than you think.
