I can drink an 8 oz glass of tomato or V-8 juice without problem. Just
check it with your meter. Tomato products give some people problems and
others are fine with them.

Drink one, on it's own, and test 30 minutes later.

I can have the occasional juice glass of tomato juice. I usually have it
for a treat when I have breakfast out at one of those places that give you
juice, toast, potatoes and coffee with your eggs. I aask for tomato juice
(and it's usually a small glass) no potatoes , lettuce adn tomeatos if no
extra charge or just lettuce, adn only one piece of whole wheat or whole
grain (whichever they have) toast. I usually have this every three months
after I have had my 3 month check-up with my endocrinologist and have
been fasting. It is a treat I look forward to:-) I do use tomato juice
or tomato paaste reconstituted with 3 cans of water (les salt) when I
make my gazpacho souup adn it doesn't spike me.

For breakfast I now use the Crysttal Light sunrice Classic Orange with no
sugar, no calories, adn a reasonable flavor. If I had been on your cruse
I might well have had the tomato juice at breakfast as a four-day treat.

It has less carbs than other juices. I use it in soup. But otherwise I
don't like the taste of it.
