Type 2 Pineapple

Not having pineapple any more it spiked my sugar levels up

Hi,

Yep, the "tropicals" can work that way.
Surprising realy...
Hope it didn't push you too high.? What was your starting BG before trying pineapple? & where did it send you?

 

[Guzzler]

Was it fresh pineapple or tinned? The tinned may have been in a sugary syrup but the fresh won't have been much better. Try berries with full fat greek yoghurt or double cream. If you use frozen berries and mush 'em up into the yoghurt it's a bit like ice cream.

Definitely agree with not having pineapple any more.
It's not just the leaves that are 'spiky'!

 

[Diane_56]

It was 6 and it went up to nine point one

 

[Diane_56]

It was fresh

 

[Resurgam]

I am puzzled as to what you expected to happen, as fresh pineapple is listed as 16 percent carbohydrate.

To be fair, it could have been worse.. It is however surprising the effects of fructose on BGs.
Lol, I've treated hypos in the past with pineapple.. One learns to be creative when short of the "usual" go to's...

If this was a one off or occasional treat with the pineapple? Maybe lower the amount previously consumed by half & accompany it with cheese or some proper cream? Then find out the effects with your meter...

Good idea will try that

Oooh, I looove pineapple.
But it really doesn't like me.

I sometimes have a single cube filched from Mr B when he indulges. He gets those fresh fruit pots from the supermarket, sometimes. I occasionally snaffle a single grape, or a single cube of pinapple.

19 months from diagnosis I can tolerate a small amount of pineapple, only two days ago I had a small pineapple ring with a gammon steak A lot depends on what you eat it with it and the quantity of course, the fat on my gammon probably slowed the absorption of the sugar in the pineapple so I only got a 0.5 rise in blood sugar at the two hour mark. It’s all quite individual and testing is the key to find out what you can and can’t tolerate.

@Diane_56 - How much pineapple did you have? It's a very intense (albeit also a very moreish) flavour, so you might get away with a little bit from time to time.

I love pineapple. That is the only thing that I still crave

 

[AloeSvea]

Yes, I love pineapple too. I deal with that love on keto/lchf by extreme portion control. . A few triangles of it, or a tiny portion in season, once in a blue moon. Keeps me pineapple-happy.

 

[DCUKMod]

I have always been able to do pineapple, when it's freshly cut from the garden. It's almost like the airmiles add to the sweetness.

That is true its not x
