it is possible they actually contain alot of geletin..but im suspecting your
fast rise and drop theory is more acurate.

I would aslo instead of a apple as a follow up eat a apple with peanutbutter
to help stabalize your bg levels.

I know if im not careful and treat a low with just a sugar then another
carby item like fruit id start a rollor coaster ride i dont want..

i treat the low then eat somthing after that i know keeps me stable.

What was the time delay between consumption and testing?
What were the numbers?

Yours must be quite different to ours. I just weighed ten
beans from the pack in front of me; the total was 38 gms, so
each bean is about 3.8 gms. They are pure carb, including
30% glucose syrup, so just four beans make 15gms carb.

The nutrition count is here:

A 100gm serve is 97.6gms carb.

I know that Jelly Belly makes sugar free for a fact Nev. look on line,
but be careful. I stopped eating them because the sugar alcohols made
me pretty sick. Gluttony for sure.

Juie you brought me back to before my diagnosis of diabetes. I was
eating a bag of swedish fish every day. I so loved them and had no
control. I dont know if my eating got me to diabetes but it got me to
gain fifty pounds. They are my favorite and hence I never eat them
because there would be no stopping me.
