How quick do you find things affect your blood sugar?


for example, some chocolate, does your blood sugar rise almost emediately? or does it take half an hour? Please do tell,
OJ is one thing I use to jump my BG quickly. I over-estimated Carbs for lunch today and was down to 58(3.2). I drank a 6 oz.(177mL) can of OJ and 15 minutes later I was 92(5.1)--weak as a kitten though and I have to use spell check on everything right now LOL.

Chocolate, on the other hand, takes a long time. Even Chocolate frozen custard. I tried that once while out shopping with my wife when I got hit by a low and it really didn't have an effect. I was forced, FORCED, I say to drink some regular Coke to get BG back up in the normal range.
