If you spike "high" that means that YOU are still eating more carbohydrates (sugar/starch) then "your system" can metabolize properly

You can improve that by 1) losing weight if you are not at ideal weight 2) cutting back on some of the carbs you are eating 3) getting a little more exercise to help burn the extra sugar or any combination of the three
