Ok I Had Breakfast At Hampton Inn

A myT1Dteam Member asked a question 💭

It consisted of scrambled eggs, 3 slices of a fresh tomato (mine) and 1 piece of wheat toast with decaf coffee. So why did that make my blood sugar go up??? I think the air I breathe affects it sometimes 😆

Yes. As one of my care providers said to me after I asked a similar type question…
You know, you have diabetes.

Hotels and restaurants sometimes add flour to the scrambled eggs, but I don't think it's that much. I wonder if your emotions could be the cause, since you're at a hotel. If you are excited or nervous it can affect your blood sugar. A change in the weather can also affect it. Or, sometimes our bodies just have an "off day."

It's understandable to feel frustrated when your blood sugar doesn't behave as expected. Here are a few reasons why your breakfast might have caused a rise in blood sugar:

1. Carbohydrates in Wheat Toast: Even whole-grain bread contains carbohydrates, which can raise blood sugar levels
2. Protein and Fat in Eggs: While Show Full Answer

It's understandable to feel frustrated when your blood sugar doesn't behave as expected. Here are a few reasons why your breakfast might have caused a rise in blood sugar:

1. Carbohydrates in Wheat Toast: Even whole-grain bread contains carbohydrates, which can raise blood sugar levels.
2. Protein and Fat in Eggs: While protein and fat can help stabilize blood sugar, they can also cause a delayed rise in blood sugar levels.
3. Cortisol Levels: Cortisol, the stress hormone, naturally rises in the morning and can increase blood sugar levels.

It's always a good idea to monitor portion sizes and consult with your healthcare provider to adjust your meal plan if needed.
