I don't get it...

Sunday, July 20, is a day I don't understand with an end-of-night blood sugar around 130. My fasting blood sugar that morning was 115, which I guess makes sense considering it followed a small plate of nachos for dinner (Taco John's Nacho Supreme), but I'm having a hard time making sense of the night reading or some of the interim stuff.

Granted, I had a pretty starchy breakfast of granola, exercised, and when I checked two hours after eating, it had gone UP to 116. My snack was an apple with peanut butter, sure, but then I made a conscious effort to rein in the starch for a lunch that was 1.5 cups of spinach, and about three-quarters of a cup of carrots, radishes, onion and red bell pepper. Are those starchy? I also added a fair bit of chicken, but that's protein, and it was grilled. My snack was vending machine meat sticks.

My dinner was some of the leftover chicken from my salad and two spoonfuls of brown rice/quinoa in a whole wheat tortilla with a little bit of cheese and salsa. And two hours after that, I was reading a 136. That just seemed high, so I tried again on a different finger and it was 128.

I guess those are both still higher than the 155 of the Saturday nachos, but there just wasn't much to that wrap at all.
