Numbers are weird

So I'm trying shakeology. I was REALLY REALLY bad since thanksgiving... had the holidays then went on vacation till Jan 7. I've spent the the past couple weeks since we got home getting back on track.
I bought the trial pack, so a different shake every day for 7 days. I'm doing the 2 hour testing.
Yesterday was strawberry and I went up 17 points. More than I like but didn't hit the 20 mark, and at the two hours had dropped.
Today I did the vegan chocolate and when I tested at the hour mark has actually gone down (yay!), but at the two hour mark was going back up.
Any thoughts?

    Is there sugars in it? Does it use whey? Whey can affect insulin levels.

    Exercise will also raise BG for a while. In the long run it is beneficial to BG but it will cause short term rises.

    You can find some nutritritional info here: https://faq.beachbody.com/app/answers/list/lob/shake

    Whey protein was the first sub-ingredient in the first ingredient (protein blend) in the one I peeked at. Generally, the ingredients look pretty good.
