GD: Magic Foods. Mine is a meatball grinder.

I have some foods like mac-n-cheese that just spike up my sugars. Other foods I have found to be manageable and in range. One of my favorite, favorite things is a meatball grinder toasted with cheese and peppers. I have had it once before since being diagnosed with GD and I got an 82 one hour after my meal. I figured it was a fluke. It's meatballs on a white sub roll, for goodness sakes. I had it again for lunch today. I got an 82!!!!! Can I tell you how excited I am that I can get this particular meal and still get great blood numbers?
Do you have any magical mystery foods that you would think would give you high numbers, but just doesn't?

Re: GD: Magic Foods. Mine is a meatball grinder.
with both DD#1 and #2, if I had ice cream before bed, I would always have low #s in the am....weird, huh? I was able to eat oatmeal almost each morning with low #s, however my best friend would eat the exact same breakfast and get very high #s. So weird how diff. things work for diff. people!
Stick to the meatball subs!! Good for you that you found something yummy!!
I've been going to Red Robin for cheeseburgers! I take the top bun off and eat the rest with a fork BUT I do have a few of my hubby's fries with ranch dressing. I also get a side salad. My b/s is always pretty low for eating it (around 100-110). It definitely satisfies me a lot!
Not magic? I had my first soda in seven weeks (Dr. Pepper with lots of ice) and it spiked my b/s to 232...not surprising I guess. For what it's worth - I got one with a purpose b/c I was soo constipated. Dr. Pepper helps things to move along for me and since my prune juice and Colace weren't doing me any favors, the Dr. Pepper sure did.
Panda Express but with mixed veggies instead of white rice. Great numbers.
Most Mexican food.
Apparently, a small DQ butterfinger blizzard is also not entirely detrimental to my fasting numbers. I had one on Saturday evening since I have been so good fully expecting to be way over on Sunday morning but my fasting number was 91 and I frequently range up to 95 with much, much less offensive items (eg PB and multigrain crackers). Score!
