Doubt these parties: The Roscón de Reyes

Good afternoon diabetic family.I have a question.

Since I was diagnosed, I have not tried anything sweet.

I would like to eat a piece of roscón on Friday.How is it done to calculate the insulin bolus in that type of sweets?Roscons, cakes etc.

Thank you very much in advance.

Good @vicen38

The adjustments will depend on what the roscón accompanies, that is, if you have eaten few hydrates before, because you may not have to compensate too much, if you have eaten normally, you will have to calculate the HC of the Roscón piece and apply an extra bolus.

If you want to have a somewhat more scientific approach, we can take the information on this website as a reference:

In nutritional information, for 100 gr., Estimates 35 g of carbohydrates and 18.5 of fats.

As always, it depends on how much you want to eat, with this information you could calculate the extra that you would have to apply.

Eye with alcohol, in addition to eating in excess at parties, it is very common to also drink alcohol, look how it affects you before applying an extra!

I leave you here a couple of topics that detail you more:

Measure fats in meals and calculate insulin.
I have talked to my offspring on this subject and then I have been investigating a bit on this matter since so far I do not consider fat to calculate insulin:

I will not enter the topic fat and foo...

Last year I had breakfast roscón on the 6th and the result was not a peak, but a needle.I put on the calculated bolus, I climbed above 220, I started walking as if I pursued me and fell into hip.
Never Mais.It is not worth it.
I will have breakfast my grilled egg with avocado and ham and with a laser tool I will cut a transparent roscón portion to integrate into the party.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

In New Year I ate two literal fingers of a Christmas trunk that my mother -in -law made, for not doing the ugly, I click 2 units and in less than 1/2 h.I got in 256 (starting from 135) and with the arrow looking at the sky (I beat my record) I hooked my husband in the arm (after putting on a 2udThe arrow stabilized and started seeing that it was beginning to go down .... often stress .... it does not compensate meHe had gone well to lower the food, poor ...)

Well, do not try the panettone .... I have already seen two cute 340 who in my life had seen before.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You should have taken your mother -in

See maybe your mother -in -law already did it to post with sweeter 😁😁😁

Well, the grilled egg, avocado and ham breakfast that one commented I see it very tasty and is not bad.
Personally, I think it is better to avoid eating roscón, that carries sugar to fill a truck and the glycemia will shoot you.
I of course, I will not try it, if a very tiny piece.I have become very strict with this diet, and no sweets, I don't even need them.

Oh poor, when you have been tell me for a long time if you're not going to try things 😅

I do not like many things but I once like everyone.One day I ate a little nougat piece of Suchard that is something else that is pure sugar, or some cake or cake, leading such a spartan life is a pain ... that by the way it is funny that I did not like fries to me and fromThat I am a diabetic I would eat an entire dish with Mahonesa 🤣

Well, that happens to me.I didn't like the fruit and now that I get a lot, I love it.And the fried potatoes did not tell me anything and now I would eat a whole package.And I didn't like the soft nougat and now I love it ...
I recognize what I have allowed this Christmas.Mercadona sells a soft nougat packaged in 8 individual portions of 25 grams and I have taken some occasionally (having fat the climb is not very beast).And to count, nothing more Christmas 😔😔

But do you want to eat things just because you see them forbidden?I see that Masoca that, it reminds me of Adam and Eva, that Eva took us out of paradise for eating a forbidden apple.
At the moment I do not plan to try any sweets of those, unless prediabetes disappears and no longer runs the risk of DT2, but in moderation.

Because they are good !!!
And when you have not eaten something for years, and around you they eat it (children, couple, parents, friends ...) not being one can resist.

In DT2 if you do not want to take a pill, you are limited to a certain food for life

The first year is of proof and error, but pointing everything you can already calculate better next time.Fast can be adapted with times and doses..

Last year ate and kept putting bowls all afternoon every afternoon every 2 h, that is, when I saw that it went from 120 to 150Slowly and up to 45 mins or 1 h to put it does not start lowering the glucose and made a peak of 185 but then with the bolus low to 120 you can eat 1 good piece but only 1 because 2 is already a lot of sugar

That you tell me within a time and I do not speak of 3 months that I was more than a year that did not taste 😅

Thank you very much for your comments.I will all take them into account.

Anyway if one day you make an excess and you get in 200, according to my endo nothing happens (although I recognize that I get in bad milk)
You already tell us if you eat it.

I do not know, I have never been much to eat sweets, what I did exceed it was with industrial juices and white bread, and I don't think it costs me to eliminate it forever, I don't take them anymore, to be honest it cost me more not to eat potatoesFrigues, pizza, potato tortilla or paste or think that I will not be able to eat paella for the rice.

Well, that we already talked to it in a few months because some can feel like a sweet, to another some fried potatoes ... for example of the paella and the olympically step rice but from time to time I like some portion of pizza or I likeThe sweets and I take something and I'm going to walk
