**Lesson Learned: Don't have two high carb meals in short succession**
Unusual blood sugar day yesterday. I think I learned things as a result.
- Morning blood sugar was FANTASTIC - Best morning/fasting blood sugar I have ever recorded, and stayed low all morning except for a blip after exercise (off day - not training).
- Four hour drive, so naturally, a fast food cheat meal. I assumed that would spike my blood sugar. IT DIDN'T. Blood sugar stayed amazingly row (80s) the rest of the morning and afternoon. t was looking to be the best glucose day ever recorded.
- Had a normal-for-me dinner, high carb because of volume deadlift the next day, but still lower than the cheat meal. (Homemade chicken tikka masala with rice)
- Dinner made my blood glucose go nuts and the rest of the evening was high. Bad enough to screw up the statistics for the day and week.
What I suspect happened:
- The day before was a low-carb day (off day and no trainng the next day).
- Body didn't need much insulin the day before, so it stored it, charging up my phase 1 insulin response.
- The cheat meal "spent" my phase 1 insulin response - using the stored insulin.
- By the time dinner came around, I had to rely on the slower phase 2 insulin response, accounting for the spike and slow recovery of blood sugar after dinner.
