They are frozen ones so very much the same size The potato is just an example of how the same food can test differently on different days. Others have said the same that their levels vary when testing the same foods. Our BG levels can react differently to the same foods tested at different timesMaybe it tells you the second potato was bigger than the first?

As not being obsessed about testing, I once tested for about a week, baked beans.
I do love 'em but I did it and I set it out, so I could find out which brand, how many, sauce, no sauce, let cool, reheat in microwave, or in oven, or try them cold, with other foods, with different fatty foods including meat, veg and some salad stuff!
Well, I found out, that normal cooking, just beans was a definite no, none at all!
All brands! The only way I could eat beans, was to have about ten, warmed up in oven with meat that was fatty, with lots of salad veg!
I have posted this before, but baked beans were dreadful for me. Like you I tried every which way except cold (yuk) and had to eliminate them. That was 3 years ago. After the baked beans thread recently I had another go with a smallish portion with a fry and grill up. Bingo! No difference with or without them, so now they are a regular with my fry up/grill ups. What a difference 3 years has made.
Bisto gravy!
Bread of any sort except Lidl rolls
Batter
Therefore, I can say flour is my nemesis.
New and roast potatoes are Ok in small portions, chips are quite good if double or triple fried.
Don;t Lidl rolls contain wheat? Why can you tolerate them but not bread?
For me it's potatoes!
During my long time of testing and experimentation with all types of food, carbs and sugars, vegetables and protein, I have discovered that my quickest spiking food is spuds! I just can't eat a bite without a dramatic rocketing of my blood glucose levels. I have never heard ofpotato intolerance, wheat, yes! But not potatoes!
Wheat is just as bad, even glucose is less than spuds and wheat!
Which type of food spikes you worse or higher?
Ginger marmalade on toast will put me in double figures.Which type of food spikes you worse or higher?
All grains potatoes and sugar seem to be a problem for me.Pizza, chips, pasta! To be fair, all grains and cereals can give a decent spike for me, so I just don't eat them.
