For me, the most important thing is to eat _steady_ amounts. Any radical changes to the times and numbers of carbs does crazy things to my blood sugar.
And changes to exercise makes a huge difference (not walking at ALL one day will raise my levels 40 points, easy, by dinner) The possible reasons you were at 125 are numerous. Could just be elevated due to illness (this is normal, and should go down as you heal. Blood sugar is often an indicator you are GETTING sick, as the blood sugar goes up even before most symptoms appear). or you could have "bounced". or your liver released sugar because it thought you needed it. or you switched from complex to simple carbs (and your system has a harder time using breaking them down). Or, your "at rest" insulin levels are low, and your body will consistantly go up over time when you dont eat. But, the most important thing to remember is _trending_ is important, less so than individual measurements. if you are consistently at 125 at this time of day for a week, that would be a concern. Once blip on the graph is not worrisome. Changes to the trends is more so.
