fruit tea's and snack-a-jacks

[Shellx]

Are these 'ok' to eat with gestational diabetes? I'm wondering if they effect anyone's sugar levels.

I love fruit tea but the natural sugars in fruit send my readings high, would it be the same for teas? (excuse me if it's a silly Q)

Another thing is snack a jacks are currently on offer, this is the only time I really buy them for myself and I always buy the salt and vinegar or caramel flavour ones. Again, are these ok with anyone else?

Thought I'd ask before stocking up!

I think you will be OK with the fruit teas, lots of posters drink them.


Snack a jacks may be a problem, test and see.

I suppose it depends how many you eat at one sitting.

Are they moreish, I've never tried them.

My favourite teas are green tea with lemon, and chai with just a splash of milk which really tastes far too good to be healthy but it is
Never tried snack a jacks but would love to find a packet of something with low carbs?

I can't eat snack a jacks although I used to love them in my per diabetes days. I find a while after eating them (more so at night), that I get extremely dry mouth & throat. More than usual thirst, it's hard to explain. But only happens when I eat those. Don't know if it's due to the rice they contain. But you can only try & see. Everyone is different.
