For the first time today at lunch I had a white coffee, no sugar and semi-skimmed milk. (had run out of tea bags )
Also had an omelette done in margerine and 1 tomato, nothing out of the ordinary.
My Bs was 5.3 then 2 hrs later it jumped to 10.4? half an hour later I started to feel like vomiting, ringing in my ears, a cold sweat and had to sit down in the chemist's for about 10 minutes.

Could this jump have been caused by the omelette or the coffee?
 
Poor you, that sounds horrible; but I can’t see how anything you say you ate or drank could have done that to you. Perhaps you are going down with something, do you still feel rough?
 
I also can't see how that have been caused by anything you ate or drank, unless you've forgotten about something... any other health issues going on?
 
No other issues going on, and within an hour of getting back home I felt fine?
 
Very strange.Hope it wasnt coffee,I drink shed loads lol.
 
Its a long shot but could you be a bit reactive to eggs? I always feel sick after more than one egg and omlettes often contain more
 
I dont think it was the eggs as I could eat them till the cows came home It looks like it was a one off thing that will never be explained.
 
Just had another big jump, had tinned tomatos on 2 slices of white toast, reading before was 5.1 2 hrs later and a 30 min walk reading was 8.1 :shock:

Surely the 2 slices of toast would not have risen it up that much and I was under the impression that cooked tomatos were good for you :?:
 
Looks like it!!

That is anything up to 40 odd grams of carbs for the bread! 200gm tinned tomatoes is 6 gm of carbs. So that was about 46 grams of carbs.

The exercise may also have contributed.

This is why you test after meals to see what does affect your blood sugar levels.
