Fairly common insulin resistance response. The actual numbers are not unusual or awful so I suspect it’s the speed of the drop and change that is wiping you out until things settle back down.  Are you doing anything in those 2 hrs? Sitting at a desk or moving about?I’d suggest as both prediabetic (presumably wanting to return back to normal) and someone with an impaired insulin response you’d want to limit the trigger to this feeling - the carbs. You may find some types worse than other not just the amount.  Also try moving around soon after eating, even a 5 min walk! To try and get the insulin responding a bit sooner but hopefully more gently. It’s going to take a llittle experimenting and testing but hopefully you’ll find some patterns and food that helps.   For instance this lunch would be better with less toast and more eggs  and cheese. And switch the chocolate for as higher % dark chocolate as you can tolerate and work up to 90% as you adjust your taste buds. Milk or white chocolate isn’t not your friend.</blockquote>
