111.... ok, so that's 6.2 in the UK
It's a bit hard to answer. You're not sure how long after eating that you tested, so at the 3 hr mark you just don't know how high it got before that test. And I think that's the real question, how high does it go when you eat like that? Your spike may be at about the 1 hr post meal mark. Try testing then and see what you get, maybe again at the 2hr mark if you want to see the impact of specific foods on your levels.
