T2s: What was your fasting BG this morning, and what did you eat yesterday?

neithskye said:
I keep a food and BG log so I know it was 8.5 hours, 2 hours after I had the meal described in my post. A little late, I suppose, but there have been other times my BG has remained elevated for a while after I've had a "cheat" treat.

Great, he fact that it isn't remaining elevated is evidence that your insulin resistance is not an issue.
