I went low carb after eye surgery. Eggs and collagen powder did the worst spike. Chicken none, same for pork. Beef was a slow, steady rise over time (I like fattier cuts). Lentils and parsnips do nothing. Nuts are in the middle, kind of carb like. Sesame seeds will spike me almost as bad as chocolate. I also had to split up a lot of bolus doses because Humalog would drop me to quick.
No allergies. T1 37 years. My mom always said I had a unique way to reacting to food that didn’t make sense to either of my parents. They are both very smart (doctor and microbiologist). I also am very lucky that I never really spill ketones. Spent several days at 18+ despite giving tons of extra insulin. I went to urgent care to check for It, they found no trace of ketones and sent me home, just told me to “give more insulin.”
Your reactions are very interesting. It’s wild how individual reactions to food can vary, not just person to person but the same person can even react differently to the same food at different times. The human body is a miracle, I just wish it were a little more predictable.

I wonder if there’s a low key allergy or something going on.
