So called sugar free pudding.
I am pretty sure the added skim milk did it.
I haven't gone over 120 in months, and average in the 90's. I decided to try some sugar free jello pudding with skim milk, as it stated that one serving was only 8 carbs.....haha.
I had two servings, as I have been able to eat sugar free cookies with 18-20 carbs with no issues.
2 hour BG was 241,so I freaked and re-checked it, this time it was 289.
I was pretty upset. I ran farther today, had a great workout and haven't had issues for months.
My dinner was barbecue chicken, removing most of the skin, probably part of the cause. Salad with ranch dressing, only 2 carbs from the dressing and finally a few slices of extra sharp cheese, again only 2-4 carbs.
I had water and a diet dr pepper to drink, along with a 500 mg cinnamon capsule before the meal.
After taking the last BG reading, I immediately took another 500 mg cinnamon capsule, letting it disolve in my mouth.
Re-checked myBG 10 minutes later, it was 181, checked again another 10 minutes later, it was now only 114.
I have been very strict with my intake, I will not be trying this jello instant suar free pudding again. The interesting thing is, I can eat the already made sugar free pudding and maintain low BG.
Oh well, hopefully no damage from the spike. I feel great, and couldn't tell a thing until I saw the numbers. I still can't believe that some doctors, not mine, think cinnamon doesn't do anything.
Vent over.
