Why Does Blood Levels Go Up And Down ?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

why is it when I eat certain foods like most things I really like makes my blood sugars go up I am tired of bland foods as I have an acid problem also so spices are out and a treat once in a while say like pizza ( which i have to take an acid reducer after) something tasty makes the blood sugar go up how and why?

Eating foods too high is carbs will do that. I haven't had real pizza in so long, can't remember. If you go low carb with your eating, you will no longer have the acid problem and spice you food as you like.

It depends on what you eat. If you eat something with a lot of sugar, fat, high carbohydrate your blood sugar will go up. I was told that there are 3 "P's" to modify when eating. Pizza, Pasta, & Pie. They raise blood sugars. You have to get yourself a good calorie, carbohydrate & fat book (CALORIE KING) that will help you know more of what is in foods you eat. Also, if you go to the American Diabetes Association website (diabetes.org) you can learn a lot about food values and etc.

Doreen, what about your quantity? Sometimes that affects my sugar levels.

Fat actually slows down absorption of food therefore carbs.
