Tree: We are all different I admit, but if I ate rice and pasta both, my BG would be way over 150. I ate 1 (one would you believe) 5 oz. potato with salmon and asparagus and spiked 200. I suspect you are young enough that you are not as carb sensitive as I am, but I also suspect that day is coming. It seems to for all of us diabetic folks. I do have one thought however. I don't know what kind or brand of salsa you use, but does it have a sugar component? Most of these things do, which is why I make my own. If it does, then 151 after you ate some might not be too bad. Just a thought. Best of luck. 

I used a fresh Salsa from the deli department. I will check the label but it only has 10 calories for 2 tbsp so it can at most have like 2 g of carbs. I am carb sensitive to different carbs (rice, pasta, and bread no matter what) I think it really just depends on your body chemistry. Which at 10 years later i am still trying to figure out. But using an insulin pump is really helping.
