Sashimi

Anyone else, besides me, a raw fish fan? If so, how do you bolus for sashimi?

Heck Yeah! I love Sushi & sashimi, but since I usually eat sushi (with the rice), I have to bolus more (for the rice).

Fish, both cooked and raw, seem to have ZERO effect on my sugars.

Ah yes, fish doesn't, but if I eat something like Unagi (freshwater eel with a teriyaki-like sauce), I may need a little bit to cover the sauce. Fish doesn't have an effect on my bgs, it's what's on some of the fish that does (be it breading or sauces).

My Korean mother interprets "sushi" as "sashimi", so whenever she used to take us out for "sushi" we'd get a pile of raw fish with no rice...Anyway, we never got the eel or any of the other marinated fish, we got the real, raw stuff. And lots of it. And I never noticed a change in blood sugar. Too bad I can't afford to eat like that now!

I never bolus for fish--raw or cooked.

Dewey--do you have any tips for bolusing for the sushi rice? Difficulty bolusing for sushi was my hardest adjustment to being diabetic! It's my favorite food...

At this point, I think I use 10 carbs per sushi piece (not nigiri). And I do bolus a little extra for the sauces or ginger.

We have numerous local places that allow for carry-out sushi...Literally what I did was I seperated the rice out of a couple pieces and weighed it on my digital scale. I know how to bolus for rice (I have to, my mother is Korean), so that made my calculations easier.

I havew given up on Sushi, and in my two favorite Japanese restaurants I head straight for the sashimi.

I found that I can have one small roll with my sashimi. I estimate 22g of carb per roll. If I eat more than 1 roll, all bets are off and I usually end up with high bg. For a sashimi plate (appromimately 15 peices), I bolus for 60g of "equivalent carbs" using a 30/70 combo bolus over 3 hours.

Eri does fine w/ both the sushi and sashimi. Her bg's stay nice and boy, that kid LOVES that food!
(I brought home a philly roll yesterday and her dad got the sashimi, I only got TWO pieces...the kid beat me to the other 7...but I made sure the one had a LOT of wasabi...)...she also got to her dad's, but he was a lot quicker than her, she only got a few pieces.)

Don't want to go off topic, but rice. I went to the store the other day to look at the bags of rice with the nutritional facts on them. Much to my surprise, some were 0 carbs. If they are zero carbs, why then are they bad for you? I understood carbs to be the one that turned into sugar?

I'd like to have me some of that rice..tee hee... either a misprint or you accidentally read the wrong line.....
I think white rice is about 50 g carb per cup when cooked...

I count 11 carbs for each piece of Nigiri sushi (the rice with fish on top). As for sashimi, I can't stand it without the rice, but would assume it to have no carbs.

For me, it depends on the amount of rice I'll be eating. Usually when I go for a sushi type of meal, I tend to eat a bit of the rice, too...I calculate for the rice & bolus with a combo bolus. It usually seems to work, unless I under or over-estimate the amount of rice carbs I'll be eating.

I absolutely Love tuna, salmon & yellowtail! Makes me want to go out & grab some now....I especially love the rolls wrapped in seaweed! YUM!

I'm having fried rice now and i'm doing a bridged bolus meaning i'll take half of short acting have your meal and the other half two hours after the first shot then test 2 hours after that.

As for the raw fish i do like the smoked samon, Macrel, Pilchards, And tuna. So they are packed with protien and there is a lot of carbs in these fish. Hey dewey where is a good fish market??
