Chinese takeout

reUpdate: From 228 to 167 (refrigerated rice) to 178 (frozen rice). LOL //shrug Meter report shows 88% within range (after meals) for the last 30 days.

Good heavens, that's huge even tho I reduced it. Sorry!

Update: Lunch - OK, "better." Warmed up and less rice (1/4 C?), few more shrimp - 167. Freezing rice for supper - fascinating if that turns out to be a real thing. Food and our bodies are so weird. Thanks for letting me ponder out loud LOL, and thanks for the input!

I was a very good girl yesterday - or so I thought - and ordered from the "special diet" menu - steamed shrimp and snow peas with white rice. "w. Out Salt, Sugar, Corn Starch & M.S.G
Only Prepared w. Scallion, Garlic"... they gave me a cup of sauce on the side. I used my cute little kiddie 9" diabetes plate for appropriate portions and DRIZZLED maybe a measuring half-teaspoon of the sauce over three shrimp. Two hours later, my reading was 228 - highest ever! Was it the rice? The sauce? I'm getting at least three meals out of this takeout, so I'm going to experiment and try to figure it out. But jeeze, this is hard work. :(
