It must be the moon phase lol, my morning BG (126 ) was 10pts above average, and I had some beef soup for dinner last night.


So, the way that alcohol metabolizes, particularly on a full stomach, can take some time. I wouldn't be alarmed to see that number after a couple of drinks of bourbon the night before.


To get a little technical, the alcohol inhibits the livers ability to release glucose into the blood stream. So, your liver can't begin to process the food you ate until the alcohol has metabolized, probably 2-3 hours or so. This explains your postprandial score. Then, presumably,  you went to sleep, and your metabolism slowed, and processed your dinner.  That's one possibility I think ..


Hope this helps. Try doing the same meal, without the alcohol, and see what happens there.
