Today I did a follow up visit with my physiatrist, and after the appointment, considering I walked eight blocks there and there's a great pizzeria nearby which is too far for a regular type of thing, I walked an additional block out of my way to get a slice (with chicken and bacon on top).
As this is all new to me, I'm still curious about the chemical stuff going on if I eat certain foods (i.e. the only times my glucose dropped markedly was eating 1/2 a grapefruit or eating a piece of rum cake which contained 25 gm of carbs. So pizza was still an unknown entity to my glucose reads and response.
With that in mind, on a whim, I jabbed myself at work and here are my results:
Pre-pizza: 86
2 Hours post-pizza: 104
So of course, I'm confused, somewhat pleased, but still confused! I was expecting a drop and instead, it jumped.
Note: I only ate roughly 1/2 to 2/3 of the slice, and started feeling regretful and glassy-eyed.
