Soft drinks are sugar bombs. Even drinks with sweeteners can raise bg, especially if drunk in quantity. I wonder if there are also ingredients in the salads that are relatively high carb?Hi had anyone else noticed an increase in their blood sugars when on holiday? I’m still trying to stick to a low carb diet with lots of salads, water and soft drinks and no alcohol. Before I came away my readings were between 5 and 6.8 now this week they are between 6.5 and 9!!! Help any advice would be appreciated

Are you somewhere nice and hot?
Hi Linda, it may even be the change of pace. I enjoy my holidays but stress levels do rise and you are probably doing extra stuff as well.
I’m in Dubai Guzzler. Just here for a week of sun and relaxing
Thanks KK123. I’ve done a fair amount of walking and swimming I must admit x

Yes I found the same in the summer. Much higher than normal but I blamed it on stress and not knowing the ingredients in what I was eating. It came down slowly when I came home.
