Which guidelines?Hi @CherryAA, why not give the cafe a call and ask them what they put in your meal; I would want to know as that was a huge spike.
Many non diabetics go over the guidelines in ignorance and would be surprised to find out so.
I expect it was healthy for non diabetic Vegans as all of the food was probably not low carbToday I found myself out and bout with a couple of health food experts, we were hungry - so we went to their " must try" vegan cafe.
BS before food 4.4 - 45 minutes later 9.4 !!!!1 this is the worst reading I have had in a month - especially in the late afternoon normally at the low end of my day .
Next time I will give being healthy a miss and go for the steak !oops .
I was seriously astonished as the stuff really did look as it if actually should be healthy and in fact tasted better than I as expecting - God knows what was hidden in it!

To whom are you aiming these blood glucose level guidelines? I'm confused. Do all non-diabetics need to know this?https://diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html
As an example Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt of diet Doctor has posted at least 2 readings I have seen where he has tested his blood glucose after meals at conferences at over 9 mmol, I have also seen higher than 7.8 on either Trust Me I'm a Doctor or similar, maybe Food unwrapped.
Hi @GrantGam I can't speak for @CherryAA, but if I had a spike that large and had thought I had the obvious carby bits removed, I would from a knowledge perspective want to know the ingredient(s) which caused this, so as to avoid in future. A spike of 5 when you are more used to say a 2 would be scary, so I don't can see where @CherryAA would enquire as to this, I would too, each to their own.@Mbaker and @CherryAA, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the issue is here...
The cafe that was visited was in no way, shape or form tailored towards those who eat LC or diabetics for that matter. So if you ask me, the 45 minute post-prandial BG spike (which was completely normal by the way, and actually more like 30-35 minutes on the Libre) does not really warrant a full blown investigation.
If you want my opinion, for all it's worth, I'd blame the soup for the BG spike over anything else. Most recipes with peas that I've come across and used, contain potato - and in varying quantities. Some also contain added sugar too.
No one in particular. I can't answer your second question.To whom are you aiming these blood glucose level guidelines? I'm confused. Do all non-diabetics need to know this?

Entirely possible. The addition of fat would dampen the spiking effect from the potato. But you won't know just how much potato was used...I spoke to the cafe and they said they did use potato s thickener - small portions of potato as thickener have not been a problem for me before - maybe it was the lack of fat that emphasised it.
The pea soup would spike me - legumes are on my list of 'take care with these' foods. Their carbs seem to have more impact.The thing that surprised me most was that I
had a vegetable bake with cheese , a pea soup and i told them to leave off the pasta , the sweet potato and the rice . so as far as i was aware i was eating a low carb , vegetarian dish .
I have eaten all of the identifiable ingredients before with no issues and my afternoon meals rarely cause more than a 2 mmol spike . I cannot imagine what actual ingredient could have caused the issue to be honest . Ive made my own cheese sauces with flour and not caused any spike at all.
Like dance some Italo Disco song called "Vega"Well you know what they say when in Vega do as the Vegans do.
...a pea soup ...
