[QUOTE="andcol, post: 752962, member: 96315"] As [USER=45533]@Lenny3[/USER] says bread is not your friend. You say 2 cheese sandwiches so it that 4 slices of bread. I expect your bread is around 20g carbs per slice so that is quite a lot of carbohydrate (in a fast acting form) for your body to handle. I expect the 10 is actually just a number on the way down and you actually went much higher. I would suggest that you try to not peak above 8.5 as this seems to be "normal" peaking for non-diabetics (note some go higher and some lower). To achieve these sort of targets you will need to eat food and test before at 1 hour and 2 hours and work out what is good and what isnt. Note that some foods can delay the peak by an hour so you may have to test at 3 hours as well. Also note that these peaks are heavily impacted by the quantity of carbs you eat. so try just one sandwich next time and see what you get.
