[QUOTE="rmz80, post: 1675370, member: 306547"] As BG levels are mainly determined by carbs I think you would have to divide these into 5 groups: glucose, simple carbs (sucrose, fructose), complex carbs (starchy carbs), soluble fibre and non soluble fibre. You would also need to calculate the weight in grams for each group. I always reckoned (for me) glucose:40 min before showing as a BG reading, simple carbs 60 min, complex carbs 2 hour, soluble fibre 24 hour, non soluble fibre (can be ignored) The additional delay for simple and complex carbs is the time the liver takes break these down into glucose. Your food list makes any calculation even more complex as your introducing exercise into the equation. Your muscles will consume glucose as fuel. If you are getting a high BG the next day I would suspect soluble fibre as the main culprit. If you can work all this out on a spreadsheet good luck! [/QUOTE]
