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 donāt have any other odd symptom from eating either of these items. Iāll google this and see what pops up. I love both of these so hope I donāt have to give them up. If it is just glucose spikes, Iām 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
Interesting! A real pain, isnāt it!!! Mine is an immediate rise, maybe up 100 if I donāt bolus Course, if Iām already low or going low, it is a good thing to eat.
I mean, if itās not otherwise causing problems, no need to stop eating them (would just keep an eye out in case that changes), but I donāt think itās possible that that type of spiking from those foods are just via direct metabolism.
Yes, that was my thinking, too. I donāt see anything googling on cheese or tomatoes causing this problem For now, Iāll just use them as my go to Low food Thanks for your input on this.
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
One of my favorites too, for meals too.
Just had a few home grown yellow cherry tomatoes, they are the best, and sweetest.!
@MM2 I have yellow ones, too! Tiny, but sweet and.delicious!
