Is it ok to have a spike from carbs once day if levels are good the rest of the day?

[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 983803, member: 88961"] You talk about rising to 10-12 after carbs, but that only gives me a part of the story. At what point, after eating, are you measuring the 10-12? If it was 45 minutes, say, I might have a different view to if it was 2 hours. In returning those scores, have you tried eating the same foods two days in a row, and measuring both days? There could be a certain amount of enzyme lag in play; meaning if your body wasn't expecting a carb hit, your reading could have been higher than if you repeated the exercise. If you read about "last meal effect", you will find more detail. Personally, I don't like spikes much, and since undertaking lots of testing, dietary modifications and trimming up to become very slight, I don't really see spikes any more, and those I do see resolve themselves very rapidly. For me, I view these things from a bit of a package perspective. [/QUOTE]
