I am wondering if our FBG can be dramatically influenced by a previous
day's indiscretion?

My normal FBG is 100. However, My wife made me a dish with about 15
grams of carbs, and I had already had another 10 that day, (simple
carbs). My FBG shot up to 135 the next day. I got back on track the next
day and my morning FBG was back to 100.

Can this cause and effect happen so quickly? What are the experiences of
others here.

Please, no scolding, I already feel bad enough. I am not perfect.

What was it the night before? When I've ingested more carbs than I should have - I TEST!
Thanks all for the replies.

Ray, I admit to another indiscretion. I felt guilty about eating the dish that contained the 15 carbs. I did not measure afterwards, because I did not want to see the bad news.
d to refuse.

Uh, Michael, I would not describe a dish of 15 grams carb to be "carby." I would consider it moderate carb, and I would eat it at dinner without any worries.

Hello PP,

The thought has occurred to me that maybe stress might cause a high fbg. I am not sure about this, but the previous two days were very very stressful for me. My wife made the meal at the end of the day as kind of a celebration of the end of the stress.

I know illness can cause high BG levels. I wonder if really high stress levels can do the same thing.

I am glad to hear that my indiscretion was not that horrible. Like I said, I felt so bad about it that I couldn't face taking a reading. Thanks again all for the support.

My wife Abby is making a dish that will be heavy with shrimp right now. It will make a nice evening dinner.
