> [@cardamom](#): > > Could you be having some sort of immune reaction Hmm, good question. I just assumed it was like the cheese, which effects me the same way. But you are right, maybe I have an immune reaction to both! ☹ I don’t have any other odd symptom from eating either of these items. I’ll google this and see what pops up. I love both of these so hope I don’t have to give them up. If it is just glucose spikes, I’m used to that! ---

> [@Trying](#): > > If it is just glucose spikes, I’m used to that! arent we all 🤣 but, btw, i have the same problem with cheese, only its a delayed reaction (probably bc of all the fat) i can eat a cube of cheese at 4pm, and then at 6pm (or sometimes later) i can go from 70 to 120. (i never bolus for a cube of cheese. perhaps i should reconsider this 😆 ---

> [@daisymae](#): > > i can eat a cube of cheese at 4pm, and then at 6pm (or sometimes later) i can go from 70 to 120. Interesting! A real pain, isn’t it!!! Mine is an immediate rise, maybe up 100 if I don’t bolus ☹ Course, if I’m already low or going low, it is a good thing to eat. ---

But you are right, maybe I have an immune reaction to both! ☹ I don’t have any other odd symptom from eating either of these items. I mean, if it’s not otherwise causing problems, no need to stop eating them (would just keep an eye out in case that changes), but I don’t think it’s possible that that type of spiking from those foods are just via direct metabolism. ---

Yes, that was my thinking, too. I don’t see anything googling on cheese or tomatoes causing this problem ☹ For now, I’ll just use them as my go to Low food 😏 Thanks for your input on this. ---

> [@Trying](#): > > For now, I’ll just use them as my go to Low food for crashing, something like cheese would never work. i need fast carbs then. but if i am slowly going low, a piece of cheese is perfect. if i want to eat cheese, i need to bolus for it; but, bc i have yet to figure out how much insulin i need for cheese, i just eat it and then later do any needed corrections. call me crazy lazy 😋 ---

> [@Trying](#): > > Since this is harvest season, I discovered a new, great, low bg food, Cherry Tomatoes!!! One of my favorites too, for meals too. Just had a few home grown yellow cherry tomatoes, they are the best, and sweetest.! [20190816\_194843|500x500](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/uploads/short-url/qiSV7Q1o72kXWrIMOysFYYTdLnb.jpeg) ---
