Have you looked up the carb content?

At the end f the day, the only way you will know, should you want to try it enough, is to wait until a decent while after you last ate, and test (the waiting is to try to ensure you have very little else influencing the readings). After the initial test, drink then test again in an hour and half hourly or hourly ongoing until your levels come down again to where they started.

That will inform you.
 
Agree with Andbreathe but at 9.6g carb per 100ml making it nearly 50g carb per bottle I wouldn't go anywhere near it! All ciders are high in carbs and for me not worth it even though I love an ice cold cider on ice on a hot day. Test and see but I suspect you may be disappointed
 
It would really depend how much you would drink of it in one sitting. Definately test your BS at the 2 hr mark to see where it is sitting. You will either be surprised or disapointed but you wont know until you test
