Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf liquid Spenda?
Has anyone had an experience with the liquid artificial sweetener at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf? The barista told me it was Splenda, and I was all excited. I ended up needing to use quite a bit to get any sort of sweet taste, but I figured they watered it down since it is so strong.
Checked my blood sugar a couple of hours later as I had a head ache. It was 143! I never go that high unless I know I ate something I shouldn't have.
Now I did have sample at Costco after that which could be the culprit. It was a paper thin wrap thing that supposedly was 13 net carbs for a serving, which I probably had close to that. This could be the culprit too. But doesn't seem like I had enough of that to cause that jump.
Oh and I skipped metformin this a.m. as doc says I can try to wean off.
A lot of variables for this bs reading. I will avoid both of these foods in future, but would be nice to know if CB&TL really has liquid Splenda.
