I Went Out This Evening With My Friend, Ken, To The Diner And Had A Huge Cheeseburger With Onion On A Bun. What Should I Expect For My FBS?
I honestly cannot say as I haven’t eaten a traditional bun for 3 years. I usually order without the bun or do a lettuce wrap. Once in a while I will actually take my low carb gluten free bun with me. I use smart baking buns.
Cheeseburger = scrumptious.
For me a lot depends on where you were glucose wise when you started your meal. If you. Started at 70 may high after that meal might be 190. But. If I over hydrate and take a walk it may peak at 160. But if I start at 120 I shutter to think where my numbers would go at the 2hr PP maybe as high as 250.
After a meal like a cheeseburger with a bun, your fasting blood sugar (FBS) the next morning may be higher than usual due to the high carbohydrate content in the bun and potential fat content slowing digestion. This can cause a delayed blood sugar spike. Monitor your levels and consider balancing such meals with more fiber Show Full Answer
Yes. Where the mistake I made was that this burger was absolutely huge approaching a half pounder. Lotta fun at the time though but I paid. I'll take your advice for the next time, Andrew. Thank you.
