I tried my best with the carb amounts but maybe my best wasn't good enough

I had lunch from Cooplands Bakery

Scotch roll 30g of carbs - from the Cooplands nutritional information
Ghost cupcake 46g of carbs - from carbs and cals app and also weighed it

Depending what time you had your lunch, I think you won’t know the answer til a good five hours after you ate. If I had that for lunch, I’d spike quite high after about an hour and a half, then fall from about 2-3 hours in, as the insulin kicked in, and then gradually fall a bit more as the tail end of the insulin kept working. Sometimes I'm surprised just how long that last bit of insulin goes on working as it tails off.
 
Scotch roll is spot on according to my app for Cooplands. The cupcake depends on the size - I saw values got 30gm up to almost 60gm.
