Okay this one is very puzzling.
Dinner 7:30 pm We had spaghetti (Dreamfields), with red sauce and garlic bread. I know, not the best but the results on BG very surprising.
+ 1hr 96
+ 2hr 106
+ 3hr 126
+ 4hr 129
+ 5hr 154
I went to bed after 5 hour reading and woke up with 108. I just don't understand. I did have 1 dove sugar free chocolate between the 4 and 5 hour readings. That is only about 4 carbs
Anyone have any insight?
Thanks in advance.

Pasta, even the Dreamfields gives me a very delayed spike too. And the garlic bread also gets slowed down in digestion by the butter. And my numbers the next day a little higher after a dinner like that. Actually what you describe there seems pretty normal to me from what I've read here and other places when it comes to a pasta dinner.
