I see lots about fake sweeteners causing that, although I didn't experience that. I don't see why the unsweetened flavored seltzers would do it since there isn't any chemical sweetener in there.
Anyway, [link] talks about other causes.
You are doing really well with this, sj. You are not getting crazy high or low readings. It takes some adjustment (understated), but it really looks like you are going to be able to keep it under control without meds. Make your list of questions and talk to your doctors.
Several studies have shown that artificial sweeteners can trigger a rise in blood sugar. Here's a summary of one [link] I don't think something like La Croix carbonated water, with no sweeteners, could be the culprit.
Also, sj, did you see this piece about nuts in the NY Times [link]

There are no sweeteners of any kind in the Polar seltzer I drink. So, maybe it isn't doing anything, but I'm still going to cut it out for a couple days and see if it makes a difference.

No, but I have seen similar studies recently out of Great Britian. I have been relying heavily on nuts, seeds, and various kinds of nut butters for protein throughout the day.
Mom is home from FL and came here today. So, I finally went to the market, which I've been avoiding doing. She just left, and I'm exhausted.
My grocery store doesn't carry Vinho Verde. I'm sad.
aw ... that's my favorite summer wine ... a little early for me, but it may be warmer where you are (it's supposed to get up in the 70s tomorrow, warmer Friday, then down into the 50s and 60s over the weekend. Monday, there were snow flurries not too far from here.
I was cleaning up a bit tonight and I opened up a box of stuff I had order for ltc, and I forgot I had ordered myself a pain of pregnancy jeans. They fit! And they're capri's so I don't have to shorten them!
I've begun ordering the capri pants for the regular women off my clothing site, because they're the correct inseam length for me for regular pants. I feel like such a dwarf.
Yay jeans that fit, sj! That's so key.
Vinho verde is delicious. Trader joes usually has it?
