Hi there Anne.
On a one-off basis, it's tricky to be too definite on anything, however, if you're feeling a bit sore, it might have pushed your numbers up a bit.
Frustratingly, it's not just what we eat and drink that can impact our blood sugar numbers. Things like exercise, stress, pain, being generally under the weather and even changes in the weather can do it!
I know that's not exactly what you want to hear, and over time things do tend to level out a bit, usually as your numbers generally sort themselves out, but just keep an eye on it.
Sometimes we need to look at the bigger picture, and the odd physio session which helps something, but maybe bumps the numbers a bit for a few hours, or a day, is worth it for the longer term gain, of the reason you're having physio improving.
Welcome to the forum. Hopefully others will drop in as the day goes on.
Thanks for the reply. My numbers came down and had lunch which tin tomato soup and Lidl roll. Numbers back up again so assume I won't be eating Heinz tom soup again. Feeling very washed out and dizzy. Hoping things settle soon.

According to this http://www.low-carbdiet.co.uk/carbcount.asp?id=19 Heinz tom soup doesn't appear to be too high in carbs??
