What is a bad spike for you, personally?

I had my first completely blind day, where I couldn’t find the details of the meal I had in a TGIF, I went for a salad and duck, with a side of chicken strips. Never eating there before I didn’t realise the salad would have a sticky dressing and the strips were coated with something or other. Anyway was 5.4 before the meal, an hour from first bite I was 8.4. 6 hours after down to 5.9. (Previous 3 weeks has been about 120 g carbs) So obviously my choice was not great. Strange thing was I had a headache and felt groggy after meal is this a sign of sugars changing out of ideal range?



Can you report what your morning fasting BG was the next morning from this meal?
 
Ponchu it was down to 6.2, normal has been 5.5 to 5.8. I think the groggy feeling could be a sign for me to look out for. Only my second week of testing so gathering as much info as possible regarding figures, what effects them and any effects I may be able to recognise without a meter
