Hey everyone,
Nice to meet you all
This is my first post here.
I have been having 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice everyday for about 2 months.Before I incorporated it into my current diet,I tested my blood sugar level 2 hours after eating it for 6-7 days to make sure it would not give me problems and it never raised my blood sugar to "abnormal" levels.(The highest's 6.4 mmol/L and the lowest's 5.6 mmol/L).However,when I tested my blood sugar level 3 days ago 2 hours after eating it,it was 10.4 mmol/L!!!I waited for another 2 hours to test it again and it came down to 5.4 mmol/L.I tested my blood sugar level yesterday 2 hours after eating it again hoping the last post meal reading was just an error (wishful thinking) and it was 10 mmol/L this time.Anyone know why this is happening?I was so sure that my condition was improving since my acanthosis nigricans had almost faded away completely and my fasting and random blood sugar levels're always within the normal range.The fact that my blood sugar level raised to that level after less than 25 grams of carbs is making me worried that my condition has actually worsened.
Can the common cold I have been fighting for the past few days be making me more insulin resistant temporarily?(I have read somewhere that a cold can raise your blood sugar level) However,if that's the case,why aren't my fasting and random blood suagr levels affected?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Sorry for the long post but I am really frustrated and need advice.
