I don't know what flexibility you have at work, but it could be useful to do some additional tests between those times. It could be so many different things, from a delayed spike, to a rebound liver dump if the energy from your lunch has effectively "run out" and your liver steps in somewhat enthusiastically.

What did you have for lunch, and had you had that food, and portion size before?

More testing is the way forward for sure.

Although some foods are sugar-free, not all sweeteners have little or no impact on blood sugars, which is unfortunate, and like other things, some of us can be just plain old more sensitive than others.
