3/4 C of reg mac with about 6 oz of shred sharp cheddar melted on top, I
only ate half with 1/2 can of green beans. I did use Barilla Plus mac
but can't get it now.

And what was your BG prior? Mine would drop pretty low if that was all that
I ate.

If what I ate was a small meal to you maybe you eat way too much, I did
mean 3/4 C of mac before cooking. It was a full plate of food.

Food needs to be measured after cooking. No telling how much you really
ate.

3/4 C of uncooked mac is likely 1.5 C cooked. To make mac and cheese I
don't want the mac cooling off because the heat in it helps melt the
cheese on top in the oven.

Then that's not an abnormally large meal. That would be what I eat. And I
would be fine with that.

I don't have to measure my food because I have measured my bowls. I know
how big each bowl is.

Again, I only ate half of the mac and cheese at a time, or 3/4 C of it
cooked.

In that case my BG would have been very low.

If I ate that, I certanly would have had a high bg as woudl many of us
with type 2 on this list. risking a hypo with a dish such a mad and
cheese woudl not be a problem for most of us, unless it sent us so high
that we had a reactive hypo, or a fast fall after to high a reading.

Julie, your reactions are totally remarkable as I knowof no one else who
responds to assorted foods as you do.

What? Seriously? That's 1.25 servings. I know plenty of diabetics. They
can *all* eat one serving of carbs without spiking. They can even eat 2
servings without spiking.

Various meds or no meds and yes.

Like who?

Look up green beans fasting blood sugar in search, I wouldn't want green
beans right before bed.

Well you did say you used canned chili beans with the franks. This is
the first mention I have seen of green beans.

He mentioned them in another thread. Said eating them before bed caused
lower BG in the morning. However, he never quotes what he is replying to
and when I asked him for a cite he told me to do a search on it. I am
getting sick of it and he's about to go in my KF.
