OMG just had a glass of this (pint) and my BG went sky high (14.3) has anyone else had this problem?
Those are sugar substitutes which shouldn't raise blood sugars.Nope poured it myself
But just looked up this ingredient (Aspartame, Sodium Saccharin) so unsure if it could be this

Might sound stupid but how do you do that (is it dip the lemonade and not blood) never hear of that one
No AddedcSugarSugar substitutes aren’t suppose to raise blood sugars, but I suspect saccharine does with me. I can quite happily drink soft drinks with aspartame and acesulfame, but Robinson’s no added sugar orange squash which has saccharine in it raises my sugars, not sky high like yours but definitely a bit.
NO ADDED SUGAR does not mean there is no sugar all the sugar from the fruit itself is still there the phrase N.A.S. is another marketing ploy aimed at people trying to loose weight but catches some of us in their net so might not be the saccharinSugar substitutes aren’t suppose to raise blood sugars, but I suspect saccharine does with me.

Granted, however the carb count for the Robinsons NAS Orange squash is still only 0.6g per 100mls against for instance Tesco NAS Lemon squash which is <0.1g per 100mls, so in the absence of many carbs I looked elsewhere for an explanation for my blood sugars rise.No AddedcSugar

Sometimes an item of food or drink sets off my readings too without any rhyme or reason just try and avoid this particular product for a month or two (as it may be just a blip in the making) then try a smaller amount and test againOMG just had a glass of this (pint) and my BG went sky high (14.3) has anyone else had this problem?
Why not ask Robinsons themselves maybe they don't know it is happening and can correct the problemGranted, however the carb count for the Robinsons NAS Orange squash is still only 0.6g per 100mls against for instance Tesco NAS Lemon squash which is <0.1g per 100mls, so in the absence of many carbs I looked elsewhere for an explanation for my blood sugars rise.
Nah, I’ll just buy Tesco’s it’s cheaper anywayWhy not ask Robinsons themselves maybe they don't know it is happening and can correct the problem

Great stuff my only concern is I use a Contour next one which auto logs my tests and plots a graph and you cannot take them off the device (not from what I can see in the manual) any advice there
