my fitness pal is open source anyone can put anything in thats why l dumped the whole app a waste of time.

Somewhat harsh, I'd say. I agree there are some very odd entries in there, but using it with the eyes open makes sense for any app or tool.

What is the Primo? I've never been in a Costa in my life - never even seen one round here. I thought they were just on Motorway Service Stations. Lol. I'm a country bumpkin.

Lots of shops now are having Costa coffee bars in them

i don't go to coffee shops anymore or drink beer since my heart attack last year i only drink vodka and diet tonic or black coffee my hospital doctor has told me not to go on a diet as it could effect my kidneys i do have stage 3 kidney disease and must keep my blood sugars over 7.
As I'm over 18 stone in weight i have gone on a low carb diet and exercise with supervision

@rogbert,
Did your doc say WHY you had to stay above 7?
I am CK3 and my nephrologist is ecstatic that I keep my HbA1c @ 5.4 on a low carb diet!

l disagree AB how many things have people assumed are ok and been slammed upwards as the OP was. They were lucky to test it but l can not as many t2 can not test all our food so l would rather rely on proper manufacture figures than those any tom **** or harry can post. To my mind a dangerous app to use and l stick by it.

The OP had their eyes open...

I had a lunchtime meeting today which was running late today so I thought I'd pop into Costa at 1pm and have a cheeky cold drink to see me through until I got back for lunch.

I thought I was being good by choosing their red berry cooler, instead of the strawberries and cream or any of the frappacinos laced with UHT milk and artificial cream. 2 hours later my bs are 12.4! My late lunch when I got back consisted of cheese, celery, a bowl of strawberries and dash of cream and a coffee with cream. 2 hours after lunch they are the lowest ever - 4.3.

What is going on?

Costa lady it sounds very much to me you had a lack of carbs for dinner and your drink couldn't have had enough sugars to see you through your buisy morning I like to try and live on fruit and salads in the summer and have to keep a close check on it in case I go to low.
