Well? Dificult at the moment... You have your thread tagged as type 1. But your profile says T2? (So, not sure about your meds..)
As a T1 myself. I'd take a correction dose of insulin..
I am type 1 my readings when not working are between 7/9 but when working & chewing gum 17/19 to high but work is busy & I certainly can't stop during service to check levels usually wait till I'm home.Just trying to keep weight off it sometimes seems a vicious circle
You could try a google search for the nutritional information and ingredients list for your chosen brand of gum. Be aware that a lot of 'sugar free' foodstuff contains sugar alcohols in small quantities.
Just out of interest, if you are cooking in a restaurant how do manage to taste test your foods when chewing (minty?) gum?

OK? I've done a little waiting in my time & understand how things can slip in a busy restaurant..
I'm thinking of other causes bar the chewing gum? Like under bolusing for food on a break, or over milking the "coffee glugs" on a shift... It's easy to overlook while it's all going on...
