Did you wash your hands before testing? 🙂
 
it was pineapple and l think my hands was clean cos l just done the washing up:confused:
 
Hmm tropical fruit has a high amount of sugar in it so could be the culprit

Was it fresh or tinned ?

Just checking...a few months ago my daughter was eating ice cream out of the tub.....glutton that she is! She asked me o hold it or a minute. I gave her it back and then tested. My BG was about 12. I was thinking what did I eat that I'd that. Although I didn't think I had ice cream on my hands I washed them and tested again and I was at 7. 🙂

Lol it can't be helped at times, I'm the same with grapes DN told me have a small bunch often I don't .. Just remember next time less is more . 😎
 
I think generally berries such as blueberry's and strawberry's are considered to be better because the glucose in them is absorbed that much slower.

Although a lot of it depends on the person, so this is where your meter is very helpful for identifying which foods are good and bad for you in particular.
 
Could easily be the pineapple for me.
 
Hi Rosie,

Glad you found out what caused the 10.0. I have been 11.9 most of the day and still high. Its not what I've been eating, just a bad day.
