[QUOTE="Sirmione, post: 889273, member: 190454"] Soups vary a lot, with all soups you buy you must read the label, varieties and manufacturers have vasty differing sugar and carb content. Much the same goes for bread even whole grain bread you have to check the info on the label, it is carbohydrate so you must minimise the amount you eat. Keeping mind your body is only clearing glucose from your blood at a restricted rate, even though it may be able to deal with X amount of carbs in 24 hours it can't deal with the same X amount in a single meal without your blood glucose soaring. Personally in my case this means my standard early lunch of bacon, egg, sausage and a potato scone is fine but if I have another potato scone or half a slice of toast my blood glucose will take 3 hours to get back to my normal limits. Fruit also varires in sugar and carb content, I personally don't have any problem with a eating one small "kids fun sized" apple but eating two full sized apples would send my readings sky high. Pears are also lower in sugar than apples. Small cherry or plum tomatoes can be a handy as a snack to replace traditional fruit. [/QUOTE]
