Can my levels go up after 2 hours?

good evening.

I am still in the experimenting food stage, and I am sometiems surprised at how little my levels change.

I normally test before Dinner at around 6.5, and then 2 hours later, can be anywhere up to 8.5.

I have just been out for Dinner, and it was for Sushi.

Pre Dinner, I was 7.2 (as I had something to eat about an hour earlier) and I have just tested myself an hour after finishing dinner, and to my surprise I am 7.1.

I will be testing myself again in about an hour, but if the readings are not too much higher (or possibly lower) could it be that my levels go up over night.

I have found this in the past when I have eaten things which I thought would have an adverse reaction, and they have not.

I look forward to replies.
 
What did you eat before the meal? What did you actually eat at your meal? Without knowing this it is difficult to answer your question.
 
Sue's right
however, fats may delay a sugar spike.
 
Ok. please bear in mind it was my birthday.....

At about 5pm, I had a quater pounder from Mc Donalds. (This I usually use as a treat, maybe once a fortnight)

at 7.30, we went out for Sushi, so quite a lot of rice.

This morning I was 8.6, but, I think that sometimes whne i have to squeeze my finger a lot, ,my levels seem to be higher (that is not an excuse, i have had that happen a number of times)
 
The burger, McDonalds quarter pounder, was between 30- 40 carbs approx!depending on which burger you had. Therefore you blood sugars would have been on their way up when you tested before dinner. The rice in the sushi would slow down absorption and in itself would have had maybe 50 gm carbs dependent on the type of sushi.Your blood levels would have risen significantly well after the two hour test.
As for having to squeeze fingers a lot,try warming them up first.
The total quantity of carbs was more than I eat on a daily basis but it was your birthday so I hope you enjoyed your day. :D :D
