I don't understand

Did you have many raspberries? or a lot of milk in the coffee?

No not many raspberries and I don't use milk in coffee I have it black. Can the nines of food cause bs levels to rise? I was just thinking there was 7 hours between breakfast and my testing before lunch.

Perhaps you went too long without food and had a liver dump?

You really need to test 2 hours after eating to see what sort of rise you might be getting. Sometimes fruit for breakfast may have a bigger impact than later in the day. I see it sometimes with blueberries and yoghurt, and I think someone else, possibly @Brunneria, has had this happen too. With me this rise may last most of the day until my evening meal.

Liver dumps? I can get these sometimes even after any kind of minor activity, if my liver thinks maybe my throats been cut... Usually around a 1.5 rise.

Contamination on finger giving false reading? if you're puzzled by an unexpectedly high reading, it's worth washing hands and retesting to be sure.

Nothing's ever straightforward is it - you have to be a little glucose detective, with your meter instead of a magnifying glass....

7 hours is a long time between meals. It is a fast, so most likely you went a bit low and your liver kicked in by dumping glucose in your blood stream to keep you going.

Look into the affects of caffeine, maybe switch to decaf HTH

As @Robbity says, i get silly high blood glucose from yog. And milk. Far in excess of the actual carbs contained in them.

I think it is a food intolerance.
