Illness definitely affects me. Spot the day when I developed a chest infection and then eight days later had surgery on my foot!

Could Do but I feel it more likely you ate something else that unbeknown to you contained sugar/carbs

Looking at my food chart the only other thing that was eaten was about 10 chips (done using an actifry) and a tandoori chic breast made using pataks paste

Did you retest as it could be a ‘rogue’ result?

How you get rogue results
Saying that I've notice when I first started testing if you use different finger tips you get wild readings or a different reading on each finger
Wonder how that happens

You could easily have had a bit of something on your finger tip. If you handled another glass, with, say frruit juice or a "full fat" mixer in it, your finger could have been contaminated.
You'll probably never know for this occasion, but it likely makes sense to try the lemonade again and see if it happens again.

Is it not the case that some artificial sweeteners cause the same response as sugar although I know most dont

Driving home after Christmas and ordered a Tonic water with a pub lunch, specifying that it must be slimline or sugar-free. When I checked the bottle it was this trendy (expensive) Fevertree "Naturally Light" one. I had an usually high reading later, so I checked the details and they came out at: "Total Carb: 3.8g of which sugars: 2.9g", the sugar content being attributed to fruit sugars.
