I had turkey (at last the turkey is gone...) stew this evening. My husband put cranberries in which are dried and have sugar in them. I tested at 1/2 an hour - 5.9. at 1 hour 5.6 and at 2 hours 4.7. these levels are better than when I eat low carb/no sugar which confused me. I did find the stew quite sweet though so my tastes have changed.
 
Well there are about 12g of carbs in 100g of cranberries so it depends on how many cranberries and how much turkey stew. There are about 73g of carbs in 100g of white bread which is metabolised at more or less the same rate as glucose. Remember too that you probably ate only half of the cranberries that he put in.
 
it is just one more thing that makes me realise I have alot more to learn and understand:)
