Shocking Blood Sugar Numbers

I write this from Buffalo, NY. after having dinner at Duff's, known for their wings and the food was excellent. So after a long plane flight mostly waiting in the airport I didn't eat well. I usually eat low carb. Today I had:

  • Pizza
  • Pretzel
  • 2 bags potato chips
  • Chocolate candy
  • Chocolate cookies
  • Pretzels
Then for dinner:
  • Steak wrap
  • Chicken wings
  • Cheese sticks
  • French fries
  • Ice cream
  • Light beer
I took a Metformin around 2 PM and then with dinner. When I got back to my room after dinner I was shocked to see that my blood sugar was 83 where I expected > 160. I tested 3 times and 83 came up each time. So my question is why? Some possibilities:
  • The Metformin is working
  • I just started lifting weights and it's working
  • Something at home, maybe mold is making my blood sugar high
  • I've been doing the Tim Ferriss 30 gms protein/within 30 minutes of awakening and maybe that is helping
  • I ate so much that the food hasn't been digested yet
  • I had alcohol which with the Metrormin which is keeping my blood sugar low
