I skipped breakfast today since I slept in until 10 AM. For lunch, I went to D-Lifestyle Kitchen, which is known for its LCHF and Mediterranean meals. I mostly had pasta, rice, and bread, but my blood glucose didn’t spike much. The small rise towards the end was from a donut I had afterward (you can see this in the next photos).

Later, we stopped by Knotted for dessert. I had a whole milk cream donut with an iced Americano. My blood glucose had a slow, slight increase, peaking at 90 from 78. It was surprising, and I started to think my Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) might not be working right.

After walking around a bit, I felt hungry and had a decaf iced Americano along with a Quest protein bar. My blood glucose dropped significantly afterward, which I think might be an exaggerated result—more on that later.

For dinner, I went out for Gomtang. I did a BGM test to sync with my CGM, and there was just a 6-point difference—not too bad. I was feeling off, shaky, and a bit irritable, likely because my blood glucose was low. Since the meat in the Gomtang was a bit lacking, I decided to have another protein bar.

Overall, I’ve noticed that white rice really does a great job of raising my blood glucose.
