A trick from Dr Bernstein, carry some urine test for glucose strios and dip them in the drink ( fresh one's !!) lol
Or if it is
food supposedly low in sugar, chew it a little and put some on the strip, .

Yeah, I think I read that in his book. I've never tried it and go by the info on a label on drinks, or if I don't know then I just don't eat or drink it.

Evening all, just needed a little rant! Tested this morning and BS was 10.1 and I was mortified with myself. I’m newly diagnosed but after joining the forum and following lower carb & high fat my numbers in a morning had come down from being mid 8s or 9s to 7s so I was happy they had reduced.
Proper shocked this morning and gave myself a pep talk. Just realised that the tonic water my OH and bought to go with a gin was full sugar version! Lesson learnt to check every time.
Anyone else have well meaning loved ones don’t help sometimes?

I've made the same mistake, I'm sure many here also have. As you said, lesson learned.
