I am getting my H1aBc test done soon but I'm not diabetic as far as I'm aware and hoping this obviously doesn't change. Anyway, I have been testing myself using a glucometer just out of interest for the last week and my levels are all well within the normal levels - waking levels (4-5.2), post meal (5-7), random times (3.6 - 5).
That is until tonight. Stupidly I had an extremely high carb meal, salmon teriyaki with white rice (500g). Extremely rich, salty sauce which actually made me feel a little sickly after as I didn't wash it down with anything either and I didn't consume anything after, just a couple of glasses of water about an hour after. It was a whopping 125g of carbs. So I tested myself after 2 hours and my level was 7.5/7.7 but then three hours later, 9.2/10! 5 hours later, still not recovered at 6.5. It will go down but I feel I should be reacting quicker even after an extremely high carb meal. Most of my 2 hour post meal scores have been in the 5s with one 7. I'm hoping this is a one off because I consumed such a huge portion of carbs but I'm worried nonetheless. I feel a non diabetic should have processed this quicker.
Do you find with an extremely high carb man, the spikes can be delayed because of the carbs that's being processed?
