I’m confused this morning. Had a pre dinner reading of 6.7 then had a roast chicken Sunday lunch with veg & few potatoes which I calculated to be 90g of carbs and my post dinner reading was 7.8 which then fell to 4.7 before bed. I was expecting a spike following the high carbs or are they the good carbs
