So far in this food experiment, I have tested the effects of a slice of bread and a blueberry muffin bar. The bar caused a 66% rise (I started at 95 and then rose to 143 in two hours). Honestly, I am not very surprised that the levels increased that significantly, because of the blueberries within the bar. Even though fruit is healthy for you, they still contain a somewhat heavy amount of sugar, which can almost always cause a rise in glucose levels in diabetics. There was also some fat in the bar (8 g) which probably led to a slow increase in the blood sugar levels. This is why foods with fat should not be used with glucose levels are to low, because it causes a much slower increase.
For the bread, I will most likely have to do it over. For some reason, I started off at 233 and decreased barely. I also happened to drink 180 oz of water during the school hours which may have also been an outside influence on sugar levels that was not supposed to be there. I expected a slow rise because a slice of bread has only 13 g of carbs. I plan on conducting the bread experiment again very soon because of all the outside factors that caused the results to be inconclusive.
