You may want to re-evaluate what you're eating if this is a consistent result. I have found in my situation as someone with type 1 for 51 years that the condition doesn't remain static because the body does not remain static. My metabolic rate, pulse rate, changed once I hit my 50s and for about 6 months it was like starting all over again as it started to take longer to digest food, some foods started to have a different affect etc - it was a real shocker. Took a while to re-evaluate everything and I suspect as I get older it will continue to do so.

For me personally this is what I discovered.
