Ugh. I tested my blood sugar this morning and it was 350! How did that happen? I ate some leftovers plus some soup for dinner and had a can of soda and some “healthy” chips before going to sleep. The chips had no sugar and very little carbs so I could not figure out what happened. Then I looked at the soda can again, and I had purchased the regular soda instead of the sugar-free version. I must be getting old since this is the third time I have done this.
In my defense, the shelves are confusing at my local Albertsons. I ended up buying Dr. Pepper Cherry when I thought I was getting the Zero version. There is regular Dr. Pepper, Diet Dr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper Zero, and then various flavors like cherry and cream soda. Anyway, I drank two cans yesterday instead on one, and each can has 42 grams of added sugar. No wonder my blood sugar spiked up so high. I would hate to see what the number was right after finishing the second can.
