Hi @cdpm. Yes, all foods raise blood glucose. That's normal and expected.
It's a question of finding the combinations that push up BG readings least and keep you feeling full until your next meal.
That's not easy with all the dietary restrictions you cope with, but you've shown that with some forward planning it's possible.
Well done you.
