Breakfast and my BG

[Kkayy]

Hi
I have a question about my breakfast/BG this morning.
I had 150g full fat Greek yoghurt (4.5g carbs) and 50g of blueberries for breakfast. My BG peaked and took over 3 hours to come back down. I am new to eating low carb. I have eaten this before but only later in the day and it doesn't usually affect my BG. I'm not bothered about my BG going up but I believe it should have come back down within 2 hours if tolerated? Is this right?
I had my Metformin 1g slow release as usual and 3mg Liraglutide injection too.
I'm wondering if my body is just odd

I've found that time of day makes a significant difference to my reaction to carbs and to how much basal insulin I need to keep within target levels. I need very more insulin with breakfast than later in the day with lunch or dinner. I was having very big spikes after breakfast but reduced them by taking my bolus of NovoRapid abour 45 minutes before eating and this meant that the peak impact of the insulin hit a bit sooner. I do find that after two to two and a half hours I need to think about taking in a few carbs to stop falling too low.
I don't know anything about the impact/duration curve of the Liraglutide you are on, but it may be worth researching.

Liraglutide isn’t insulin and so can’t be adjusted in this way
