BS After Supper Readings

Yesterday before Supper my BS was 4.7 & 2 hours after was 5.6.
However did another check @ 22:00, some 5 hours after Supper & reading was 7.2.
Is this a normal increase?
 
Supper was :- Steak & Kidney Pudding, shop bought, + Veg, but no potatoes + Wine, had this at 18:00
 
How much wine? Wine has a lowering effect whilst the liver is busy processing the alcohol. This might explain why you were fairly low at 2 hours, and once the alcohol was out of your system, the food started to have an effect.

There is also a lot of fat and carbs in a steak and kidney pud, so the peak could have happened later, similar to the pizza effect.

according to Carbs & Cals
182g steak and kidney pudding
34g carbs
20g protein
20g fat
2g fibre
 
This is complicated!
3 glasses of wine, quite large ones, can't give up everything
