While reading a thread the other day, I was surprised to see that the
pizza effect could cause spikes up to 5 hours later. Since my numbers
have been really good lately after going off all meds (Glipizide), I
decided to see when I would spike after eating pizza. Now, I only eat
once slice of pizza maybe once every two or three weeks now since
diagnosis, so this was NOT a normal meal for me. Anyway, last night I
ate three pretty big slices of plain cheese pizza and took readings
every hour for 5 hours.
Pre meal 82
1 hour 122
2 hours 142
3 hours 96
4 hours 86
5 hours 85
My normal peak is usually 1 hour, so it looks like pizza delays my spike
by an hour. I guess a more telling experiment would be to test every 15
minutes, but I didn't want to use that many strips and I figured this
would give me a good rough idea what pizza does to me. The upshot is
that I'll be perfectly happy to go back to eating one slice and a salad
and avoid that 2 hour excursion over 140.

Before I was told I had diabetes, I used to buy TJ's Pizza Margherita. Very
thin crust, 6 slices of cheese and a thin smattering of tomato sauce with
basil mixed in.
It's delicious.
I'd love another one. I can eat the whole thing without the edge crust,
"smartly" covered in garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes and oregano.
Rats,
Andy
