I'd say it would depends on what you ate...a BIG steak, salad and steamed veggies would probably bother your blood sugar less than a small burger on bun with fries.

Depends on what you did during the day (all day doing yard work, riding a bike marathon) and what you ate while out.
If you are usually 250-400 you need to seek medical attention fast and get it under control, ASAP! That was where I was and was put on meds. You may still feel ok, but your body is harming itself.
