Twizzlers are the al-Qaeda of blood sugar

pseydtonneI learned something fascinating this morning about two hours after I ate breakfast. I had my normal short bowl of bran flakes and a soy pattie. I also had two rainbow Twizzlers from a bag I had picked up at the supermarket.
Before I eat breakfast, I run my blood sugar reading. This morning my pre-prandial (before-meal) was 120, only slightly above the desired 110 but still lower than my usual morning line of 125.
Then I ran my numbers two hours after breakfast. My post-prandial came up 223. The desired number is 140, so this is crazy high. I did a second test about five minutes later and it was down to 204, still crazy high.
Come to think of it, I do not recall whether I took my glucophage this morning. This may explain a lot. Still, Twizzlers are bad for me and they're evil and they are gone. Never trust a food more ductile than the stomach that processes it.
-make your mouth happy? My ass.
P.S.: Two hours later I ran my numbers before lunch, as I was gettign hungry fast. My pre-prandial was 122, so it all dropped fast. I still do not know whether I took my pill at breakfast, so I took one with lunch. Lunch will be a chicken salad and a banana. I'll let you know what goes down.
