i arose this morning and my sugar was 84. I had oatmeal with2 strawberries for breakfast and went to work. at 12:30 i checked my sugar and it was 204 and 1:30 it was 237. why? I had nothing to eat from breakfast one. what happened.please let me know.
 
why would my sugar go up almost 1 and half times after eating oat meal with two strawberries in 5 or 6 hours. that is from 84 to 230, when i had nothing to eat except the oatmeal and strawberries 5 hours before.
 
When assessing how an item of food will affect your blood sugars you need to look at the carbohydrate content not just the sugars. All carbohydrates breakdown to glucose, its just that some take longer than others. Oatmeal is in my experience a relatively slow breakdown but it will all covert to glucose over the period of 2 - 4 hours post meal...
