FBG 5.1 (slightly higher than normal but not outrageous)
Had bacon, sausage, egg, fried bread (1/2 slice) for breakfast. Plus
small piece toast. Cycled 11 miles

Before lunch - 4.7
Lunch was small piece of baked salmon, salad, and about 15-20g carb
(about as much as usual)
1 hour after lunch 10.6
2 hours 16.5
3 hours 9.8
4 1/2 hours 4.2

I don't usually have any trouble with lunch if I don't add too much
into the mix in the afternoon...Mostly around 6 or 6.5 at most

Can this possibly be the effect of a higher-than-usual protein
breakfast?

And yes, I did wash thoroughly each time. All the above are the
(slightly) lower of 2 tests

Opinions, please?

Americans, times 18.2 for your big numbers, I can't be bothered...

The more protein I eat the lower the bg's, so for me that wouldn't be the
cause.

I couldn't even begin to guess at what casued such high bg's for a meal like
that.

The breakfast yes, but not the lunch. What was in the salad, what dressing
if any, what were your 20 gr carb made up of?

You had fried bread *and* toast at breakfast? I could never get away with
that unless my FBG was below 3.5 mmol/L! Your 1, 2 & 3 hour post prandial
numbers look quite high to this left ponder, too, especially that 300 mg/dL
at 2 hours. My doctor would waterboard me for that!

What was the GI of the carbs you had at lunch? What did you drink while,
and when you got back from, cycling? What did you drink with lunch? Did
something stressful happen around that time?

Take care.

Total 1 slice bread, quite thin. Don't forget the "cycled 11 miles,
too"

These are totally untypical for me. That's why I'm asking...

GI makes no odds to me, just quantity, but for what it's worth, it was
1/2 a white scone.

Water, tea, real coffee.

What did you drink with lunch?
Tea

Did

Yes, my damned blood sugar went up <grin>

No dressing, lettuce, two very small tomatoes, cucumber, carrot. All
normally tolerated extremely well.

Still puzzled.

I felt really ill all afternoon, so it's not a meter fault..

Wow!

Looks to me that whatever you're doing is working
wonderfully for you.

In the words of the best doctor I know - keep doing what
you're doing:-)
