How long the effect of rich food including carb can last in blood

[Kaha]

I had been in a situation since past 2/3 days when I was compelled to take rich foods (high protein and Carb containing items like Biriany, BBQ, meat curry....). I did not check the BS during these days assuming that the readings probably were high . Can anybody tell me by when (after how many days) I can get back to normal BS readings I usually have most of the times.

Hi,
I believe in about 12 hours, you should have digested all the Carbs you ate, and should be back to normal.
I am not a Doctor, but really do not thing it would be Days.
Normally when you test after a reasonable meal within 2-3 hours you should be back to the level when you started
I don't believe anyone can be force, or compelled to eat rich food, Next time watch what you eat and you wont have a problem ?

Thanks for sharing your comments Randburg. Yes, there was a situation where I had no choice of food . Yes, it makes sense that the effect on routine BS can be for days, but I think such food can have impact on HbA1c

2 or 3 days food has minimal impact really on hba1c which is over 90days...
