[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 603593, member: 55568"] It is probably the fact that your BG was 4.2. When you get to around 4.0, your body will top your BG level up, regardless of whether you eat anything or not. You were near that limit. You are right, the lunch doesn't have much in it, I doubt the tomatoes had much sugar in them, so it is probably more to do with the [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostasis#Biological']homeostatic process[/URL] called [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluconeogenesis']gluconeogenesis[/URL], literally, glucose new creation.
