Hi Janet, welcome.

Can you give some specific examples? Any other circumstances to take account of?

Lots of reasons
Amount of fat with the carb
Time of day
Illness
Type of carb gi
Amount of carb you ate in the last few days
Google for lots more

Also: stress levels, amount of exercise, current insulin resistence...

Sorry to say it's a roller coaster. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for insulin users.

The good news is that, despite all this, you can still spot trends and identify troublesome foods, it just takes a graph, a spreadsheet or an App.

 

[this is too difficult]

all carbs are not equal
Some foods have more than others and some carbs affect us more than others.

I find I can tolerate carbs better if I have worked hard physically.

yes a day in the garden burns the carbs, but can't spend all my life gardening.
