Do you take insulin , either shots or pump? If you took external insulin with this food, it means you took too much, or what most likely happened it wasn't digested at the same rate,.
<br>
<br>
<br>If your not a CFRDer, This is alot of carb loaded food, and with some CFers our pancreases are out of tune, and will send too much insulin too quickly, dropping the blood sugar., And can have what you call 'reactive hypoglycemia' Eat frequent small meals, with more protein, like chicken, cheese, dairy or yogurt with not alot of sugar, and it will balance out, and not so many drops.....

was it dark or milk chocolate... there is honestly not a lot of carbs in that dish other than the nachos which maybe low glicemic index anyways. The fat from the avadaco maybe effecting the sugar digestion (slowing down) fat does this.

How much do you work out? Are you very active at work? Sometime when I work out too much my sugars drop low despite what I eat.

<br>That is because when you exercise your body produces more of the hormone the hormone that regulates insulinsensitivity. So you become more sensitive to the insulin your body is making. After all that's the problem with Type 2, insulin sensitivity.

<br>Hmm hence why I said that, they MAYBE low glycemic load. Depending on what they are made from, just because they are nachosdoesn'tmean they are made from CORN. Nachos are not made from wheat, if they were and they happened to be made from a whole grain wheat they would have a slightly lower glycemic load. Also Chocolate in general has a low glycemic load, lower than most might thing. For a fact of the matter pure sugars glycemic load isnt that bad, it has a medium rating and is around 65. Where white bread is rated high and 71. Your average Coke or pepsi is rated at 65 as well, whereGatoradeis a high 78, but at the same time it's designed that way. Theavocadowill have some but not nearly as much as the rest.
