Flaco

Eating the same carbs on gluten-free bread does not typically cause this type of BS reaction. The high BS may also been exacerbated by the long drive, without much physical activity. My numbers are better today, 7 days after being gluten-free.

I have T1 diabetes (for 25 yrs) and have been in control. I'm 71. Took a 4 day road trip across Nevada and ate three sandwiches (one per day) with regular bread, not gluten free.
