There's me just starting to think I understand when theres a curved ball
Waking this morning bg was 5.8 which is normal for me
Then did an hours yoga which was quite strenuous in parts and very relaxing in others.
Then tried to learn a new dance on zoom but couldn't concentrate
Ate 2 apricots.
Within an hour felt shaky, sweaty and quite weird.
Thought maybe needed food as (apart from the apricots) had been fasting since 7pm night before
Did another test expecting low but got 7.9
Ate eggs and cheese and 2 hours pp was back to 5.8
Can anyone explain to me fruits and fructose and carbs? I though fructose, the sugar in fruit, doesn't affect bg as it goes straight to the liver, but then I think again and a lot of fruit has higher carbs, so where do they come from?
Did the 2 apricots at 8g carb really bring my bg up over 2 points, or was it something else? If so what?
