Sweet potatoes have a lot of glucose, so maybe that was it?

I'd think it was the total carb load for the day that raised her BS.

Sweet potatoes actually have a lower glycemic index than white potatoes,

despite their sweet taste. But man, that was a LOAD of for one day!

Check out a glycemic index list. Whole grains are lower than white

flours, etc, but not by a really significant amount. If you eat a lot of

carbs, you are going to get BS rising, because all carbs are metabolized

into sugar. Some just take a little longer.

my two cents,

=====================

120 is OK if you had eaten. Had it of been a fasting

reading, that would have been a different story.

Well, at least you're laughing! I've since seen the post that that BS

value was ok if post prandial?

Still, I'm very aware of carbs and a day's total carb intake because

they affect me so badly.

Yesterday I ate a small bit of brown rice cereal (no sweeteners) in the morning

w/some rice milk, then some sunflower seeds, and then some broiled chicken with

a sweet potato. While waiting at the ER, I ate a small bag of corn chips

because I was starving. One hour after the corn chips they took my blood. I've

never had a glucose reading over 115 and THAT DAY I had eaten sugar and white

flour prior to the draw.

Stress will raise glucose. ANd there aer MANY other foods than sugar adn white

fliour that raise it as well. Sweet potatoes, Corn chips, rice milk all contain

alot 0f carbs. The only time that number would ring an alarm is if it was

totally fasting.

Corn is really one that a lot of people forget about that raises glucose. I

normally eat a lot of corn products and have really had to curb that because

of the spikes than hungry feeling later. There goes all those tortillas .

Corn chips are the highest I believe, then sweet potato, then brown rice and

rice milk on the glycemic index if memory serves me. Having all in a day is

a lot of burden on your pancreas so that could have spiked your glucose. I

wouldn't worry about it for one day, but I wouldn't eat all those in a day

on a daily basis.
