There's 8.4g of carbs in a Jaffa Cake, so as your newly diagnosed I wouldn't be eating them just yet and much will depend on your treatment type and your bg readings afterwards, if I were to have one (I'm type 1 using insulin but you don't which type you are) I'd have one after my main meal or when bg were running low (but not hypo).

Not a good idea for a type 2 until you get very good control and understanding of you blood glucose. Especially knowing that very few people can eat just one Jaffa cake!
