Too many carbs.

Eliminate all added sugars in food and drink.

More carbs than our damaged systems can handle result in high blood glucose numbers.

Meat and fat have no carbs.
Eggs are pretty safe at 1 carb for 2 eggs.
A sandwich slice of sharp cheddar is 1/2 carb. Soft cheese sandwich slice is 1 carb.
