I was runing a bit high but decided to ignore that and test away.

I put two tablspoons popcorn in a class caserol dish with one pat butter and
about a teaspoon olive oil and nuked it with lid on of course for 4 minutes
and made about two cups popped pocorn.

Tossed on some salt and it was delicoous..somthing ive not had since dx.

my pre bg was 93

one hours was 91

two hour was 92

three hour was 92

then i ate some bacon and eggs cause i was hungry by then..lol

but rest of the day was the same 90-93 range

So im pleased..i will try it again and test agin a few more times to be
sure.

What size is your casserole dish? Sounds like something I would like to
try..I have used the microwavable popcorn...but I would rather not have the
extra chemicals in the seasoning if I don't have to

You can get a microwaveable popcorn bowl. I used to use them, but found I
prefer pan popped corn.

Thanks Julie...I will do a search for one

lol..i couldnt tell you what it is as far as quarts etc but its pretty
small..it could maybe hold 4 cups popcorn popped.

It is pretty heavy for its size..i think its pyrex.

If it is Pyrex look on the bottom it should tell you the size. Did it have
it's own lid?

The pinging corn might break the glass. The microwave poppers I've had have
been made of plastic or something like that.

Here's the one we use at home (I found the Power Cup inserts very
inexpensively on ebay - and you can pop the corn without oil, although
we use olive oil):

Mine is over 20 years old and still going strong.
