I thought that after eating you are always at like 150+? i drank more juice cuz i thought 80 was low for right after a meal | probably your blood sugar was going down quite quickly when you tested at 74. The food did not raise your blood sugar, but rather stopped the downward trend. Depending on the timing you could have gone low if the insulin started working before the food. I probably would have tested BEFORE giving the insulin, and maybe given the food another 10 minutes head start if i thought i was still dropping. But a small amount of juice is probably ok. just keep an eye on it, you don't want to end up high later.
