    Has anyone tried Vida or MyFitnessPal?

    I just started using Chron-o-meter last week. The food values are from USA based data sources-which suits me because I am in the USA. They have a free version and upgraded versions for professionals and one called the Gold Edition which is just $99 for life and gives more analysis capability...

    How much difference between pre and post prandial?

    Welcome @Jammer66 !We try to keep the rise to 2 or 3 points at the most. So if you were at 5.0 before eating then you would try to keep the rise to about 7.5 or less. I am going to tag @daisy1 for you with some information that we send new forum members.

    Baked beans

    I would talk to your doctor or dietitian next time about vitamin C supplements-I do not know what other medications you are taking and if it would interfere.
