I just got my A1C back and it’s 7.4 (improvement from 8.2). I read that’s about the equivalent of 166 average.

I’m taking 1000mg metformin at night. And I haven’t been testing my sugars, but finally got the supplies and did today.

My blood sugar was 188 about 5 hours after eating 3/4 a bagel with lots of fixins.

I’m so confused. I understand a bagel isn’t great, but 3/4 of a bagel is about 40gm carbs. And that was HOURS ago. How and why is it so high?

I understand that high glycemic index will spike it, but 5 hours is a long time.

I guess I don’t even have a real question, I’m just very frustrated.
