Has White Pudding Got High Carb Content? Blood Sugar 10.5

[gordiescotland1]

Hi im a bit surprised I went out for a meal tonight with some friends and i had white pudding and chips and 1 slice of bread and butter. I took 1 glipazide 1/2 hour before meal and 2 metformin after and 2 hours later my blood sugar was 10.5 did the white pudding and chips have a lot of carbs in it ? I shall avoid in the future if it is going to be as high as this.

I wd expect it to be 100% fat to be honest

Potatoes + oatmeal. Nothing but carbohydrates I would have thought.

A rather heavy meal though, but I don't profess to know what you should and shouldn't be eating.

sorry gordie, but not the healthiest meal.

[gordiescotland1]

I enjoyed it but i wont do it again not worth reading of 10.5 that is disastrous

Now that's what I call haute cuisine.

You have to live gordie....one meal+ BS of 10.5............blimey, not the end of the world. just enjoy it and don't do it too often.

10.5 not bad really....not after that lot but not disastrous...in fact for dad that is good ish .....if you're really bothered drink lots of water that brings it down ....

I had to google white pudding .... best avoided for all manner of reasons. Its high in carbs containing oatmeal, bread and suet and high in fat. Add a portion of chips and more bread and you have a very high carb combination.

If you like it have it with vegetables and no extra bread or potatoes.

I agree with sqad. Keep a general eye in your blood sugar, but don't panic about the odd peak if you've had something different. 10.5 isn't the end of the world. Don't worry x

Perhaps opt for the salad next time
