Hi @Starfish18, so how are you going to deal with this result??

I drank plenty of water and not had any other carbs since.

Have you learnt something from this result? Such as which parts of the meal may have caused it, and what your future intentions with this meal may be?

Yes I have thought about what parts of the meal may have caused it and what my future intensions are with this meal.

What part was it...

I had southern fried chicken 2 x legs and 1 x thigh I'm thinking the coating caused the spike. Maybe too much! Failing that it could have been the beetroot wedges I had with it or maybe all together, too much!

Most probably the couple of cups of flour used in the recipe.
Depending on the type of beetroot it can have up to 14 grams per 100 of carbs.
Put them into your food diary as suspects.

Maybe have 2 books: the red/orange one for the flour/ coating on the chicken as red and the beetroot as orange
the actual chicken in the green book.
Not sure what a black book might contain !!
