[QUOTE="bedshaped2000, post: 237563, member: 22360"] check you levels 30 mins after the chocolate that will frighten you lol. chocolate would enter your blood stream slower than say a biscuit due to the fat content. if i have 100g of rasberrys my levels will rise slow and easy probably due to the fibre and be fine i think this is around 4.5g of sugar. But if i have say one (yes one :lol: ) quality street which is about 5g of sugar with no fibre i will hit the 9s in about 20 mins then drop to about 4.5 in 45 mins making me feel really sick because of the up and down in such a small space of time. Hence why you want another sweet to get the high again. you dont chase the high after the rasberrys. If i have a small apple or pear i always get a dull headache about 80 mins after. this i now know is a sign that my insulin has over compensated for the sugar hit and on a bg drop so normally i follow up the pear 80 mins after with a cup of coffee. the milk from the coffee will have around 5g of carb in it and i find this will keep me level till my next meal. also if i have cheese or nuts with the apple or pear it acts as a barrier from the sudden fructose hit.
