[QUOTE="the-noob, post: 2680634, member: 329025"] Shocking title ? - ✅️ Popular subject ? - ✅ Hits the ... sweet... spot ? - ✅ Now for the serious business: I have periods of 'testing' while I wear a continuous glucose monitoring sensor (CGM) just to try and see the effects of various foods. Obviously carbs are bad, m'kay? But I found that normal chocolate (not advertising but giving a concrete example: Lidl's Fin Carre - with Hazelnuts) - and I'm talking about 1/3 of it, 30-40g, not 'a cube' - raises my glucose by 2-4 points (say 7 to 10 or 11mmol/L) while having a small cheese pastry (size of the palm) takes it to 14-15. In both cases I'd say the levels go back to 'normal' in about the same time (although I think I'm exercising a bit more when doing the pastry, due to the spike panic) but the difference in spike is significant. Anyone else experienced/tested this ? [/QUOTE]
