If you cut back on carbs and sugars during a meal, you will not get the spike in your BS. Eat more proteins and fats and stay away from white food (bread, potatoes and rice). Even if you just cut back on carbs you would be able to see the difference.

Managing blood sugar (BS) levels after eating can be challenging for several reasons:

1. Carbohydrate Intake: Carbohydrates, especially refined ones like sugar or white bread, can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.
2. Insulin Timing: The timing and amount of insulin taken may not perfectly match the rise in blood sugar from the meal.
3. Meal Composition: Meals high in fat or protein can slow down digestion, leading to delayed blood sugar spikes.
