Blood sugar going down from smoothie

[big_daddy]

Has anyone had their blood sugars going down from having a smoothie as I have just had tiny glass of one made with ice cream, milk, banana's and grapes and before my blood sugars were 8.8mmol and now after 30 - 45 minutes they are at 7.4mmol. I was half expecting my blood sugars to shoot up after reading other posts about smoothies and I have now found it odd and confusing.

Hi. May be the fat in the ice-cream/milk slowing carb absorption but it is a bit surprising. I wonder what your sugars were after 1 to 2 hours?

Please keep an eye on it. Bananas are notorious for raising blood sugar, so are grapes and so is dairy.. Either your levels could shoot up or drop because your pancreas catches up with insulin too much, too late or both (reactive hypo)

Everyone likes a treat, I get that. Probably not the best idea of you were already running high though :/

Wishing you all the best ok xxxx
