Still fairly new to this so trying to understand some of my blood sugar readings, most of the time it's covered somewhere on the forum.
The other day I woke with BS around 6 which is normal for me, had a late breakfast egg/bacon which normally sees me through until dinner, levels would usually be mid 5's.. This time got a bit peckish mid-afternoon and only thing I could find was some white pita and hummus, I knew this would give me a spike but I was hungry! 3 hours later checked my BS before dinner and it was 11.0, thought it's a bit high but understandable perhaps, an hour and a half after a dinner of pork stew its 4.5.
I can understand the spike with the bread but what makes the rather sudden drop after eating?
It was my day off from gym, running etc so wasn't particularly active that would account for a delayed BS uptake.
