🩺 From the Desk of a Dietician: A Story About Blood Sugar Spikes
Let me tell you about a client of mine, James.
James is a father of two, works long hours, and was recently diagnosed with prediabetes. He came to me feeling confused, frustrated, and a little scared. “I’m not even eating sweets,” he said. “Just regular meals — rice, chapati, ugali... but my sugars still shoot up!”
So I showed him this simple graph.
It’s not just what you eat — it’s how you eat it and what you pair it with.
🔴 First, we looked at carbs alone.
When James eats plain ugali or white rice, his blood sugar spikes quickly — that’s the red curve. This spike feels like an energy high, but it’s usually followed by a crash that leaves him tired, hungry, and irritable.
🟢 Then we added leafy vegetables.
We talked about sukuma, spinach, even cabbage. When he eats them with his ugali, the fiber slows things down — fewer spikes, more balance.
🔵 Next came fatty proteins.
We added eggs, avocado, fish, or a little peanut stew. This combo made the biggest difference. The rise was smoother, and his body didn’t have to fight so hard to bring sugar levels down.
🟠 Then we combined all three: carbs, fiber, and fat.
That’s when the magic started. James began noticing fewer energy crashes — and more stable sugars, even without changing portion sizes much.
🟣 Finally, I asked him to take a 15-minute walk after dinner.
Just a walk. That small change flattened the curve dramatically. His sugar stayed steady, and he even slept better.
💡 Here’s the thing: Blood sugar isn’t just about sugar. It’s about balance, timing, and lifestyle. Most of us don’t realize how powerful these small shifts are — because we can’t see what’s happening inside.
That’s why I recommend a CGM like Sibionics GS1 to my clients. It shows you exactly how your body reacts — in real-time. You’ll learn more in 3 days than you have in 3 years.
And the best part? It’s now available in Kenya. CE-marked, PPB-approved, and affordable.

💬 asked:
"After I eat, my blood sugar sometimes rises to 8 or 9 mmol/L, then drops back to 5 or 6 after 2 hours. Is that a blood sugar spike?"

👨‍⚕️ Doctor’s Reply:

Yes, that's called a post-meal (postprandial) blood sugar spike—and it’s normal as long as: ✅ It stays below 10 mmol/L
✅ It drops back to normal (5–6 mmol/L) within 2–3 hours
✅ You don’t feel symptoms like extreme thirst or fatigue

📌 When to be concerned:
⚠️ Frequent spikes above 10 mmol/L
⚠️ Blood sugar stays high for hours
⚠️ You’re prediabetic or at risk

🎯 Tip: Tracking your numbers with a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) can help you see how food affects your body in real-time.
