Is there any truth to that? :hijacked: Yes - but it depends on the food you order and how well you count the added sugar. As you probably know, 1 tsp of sugar is 4g of carb and the Thai cooks know how to hide tablespoons of sugar in the dishes. Honey is another nasty surprise (great tasting) which can be found where you least suspect it. If you are naive and only count the carbs you can see (rice, etc.) you are doomed! DOOOMED! Once I went for Thai food and ended up at 400. I complained to my wife about the high BG and she commented - I wondered why you were eating that honey covered something or other. I went Honey covered? But it was sour! ACK! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/thai-food-and-bg/1946)._
