I posted some info in this thread link for youAmyone know how many carbs in a sachet? I'm having trouble working it out? It can't be 20g ? Surely. Must mean 2g. I've got a stinky cold n sore throat
Must be a "marmite" thing. I can't imagine ever loving lemsip. I usuall do a cup of hot lemon with a sweetner in it and a couple of paracetamol. I think paracetamol is the main thing in lempsip anyway, but be careful that the ingredients don't react to anything else you are taking. I was told not to take ibobrufen as it interferes with blood pressure. Hope you feel better soon, in the meantime if there's anyone at home to look after you - milk it for all you're worth.I can't imagine it doing much damage. Its not as though it is a permanent addition to your diet.
As the ingredients are mostly paracetamol, maybe swap over to those. I love Lemsips though.
It got so bad I actually didn't care and had them anyway. Didn't kick me out of ketosis. Also during the same don't care phase I ate lots of salted popcorn..made myself. But after this didn't raise me at all I tried butterkist microwave salted popcorn and no raise at all...feel blessed...that and soup was all I fancied. Get well soon chick xxHi @alliebee,
I am drinking Blackcurrent lemsip - and it says on the packet that they contain 5.2g per sachet in total of aspartame and sucrose.

wish mine was that low ! I've had the flu, followed almost immediately by a cold and now I've got a tooth abscess and my sugars have been in the 8 - 12 range for the last 3 weeks - eeek ! Before all these infections they were in the 5 - 7 range, just hoping they go back where they were when I finally get over everything.Hasn't moved my bs at all been around 4.8 all morning. Even after home made chicken and leek soup. Phew
Bless you. Its quite normal to run high during illness. Even non diabetics run high. So lots of fluids and get better v soonwish mine was that low !

(and I've been very careful about my diet and what flu/cold remedies I've taken during this time)
