Today I went to a pub and choices where not very keto friendly. I had two small fish cakes and salad. I’m over my carb limit quite a bit. Even just a little bit of breadcrumbs on my fish cakes increased my blood glucose from around 4,5 to 8 2 hours after eating. My ketones remained 1.8mmol. I’m quite shocked that my glucose is this high as I never recollect it to be like this before. I’m proper keto bellow 15 g carbs normally plus fasting. The food I had I thought would be the least damaging on the menu. I suppose it’s a learning curve. I think I heard somewhere that your body digest food differently post fasting. I wish I had CGM it would be interesting to know. I will recheck 3 hours after eating. I’m wondering why is my body so sensitive to these carbs. I feel jump is quite significant. Any ideas? Thank you.
Blood glucose after eating

It took about 3 hours to get back in to what I consider my normal range. Luckily I stayed in ketosis. Won’t be doing that any time soon. I’m just astonished that’s all. Before I started keto eating I would never know my glucose so have nothing to compare it to.

Here are my CGM results when I wore one:
Testing a carby meal (can’t remember what now), keto dinner.
Chicken and dumplings for lunch, keto dinner:
Fasting:
Fried rice! (first time I ate this in over 5 years):
Btw, my GCM read about 20 points lower than my glucose monitor but it was consistent, so the trends are good.
