It is the rise from before to after that is important. Keep a food diary including portion sizes, and record your before and after levels alongside. Patterns will emerge. You will see which foods raise your levels by too much and can either eliminate them or cut down on the portion sizes.Mushroom soup? Did you make it yourself or was it from a tin?  If from a tin or packet, check the amount of total carbs it contains. You will be surprised at how many. Tinned/packet soups are thickened with flour and some have potato added for bulk. Flour is one of the main culprits in raising BS levels. Be very careful of soups unless you make your own.</blockquote>
