I had it at breakfast today along with a regular burrito. It has 17gms carbs in it, 3 gms sugar and 4 gms alcoholic sugar. My bg raised to 209 after 2 hrs!! Never going to eat that again. |

| | | When you test after the burrito, how long after eating do you test? What sauce is in the burrito?
I find that I can eat a maximum of two small flour tortillas when I make Fajittas, these are normally accompanied by refried beans which have loads of fiber.
It could be the combination of the burrito AND the bar, possibly you can tolerate either on their own but not both combined.

| | | The bars don't bother me. A flour tortilla like that will send me right up the wall, though. I usually stick with the low-carb tortilla wraps. Or, I'll just eat the filling out of a regular burrito.

| | | I test 2hours after eating. It has no sauce in it, wierd I know but I just roll a whole wheat tortilla with lots of veggies, eggs and sometimes chicken. That's it. I believe the snack bar is the culprit but let me test by taking them both seperately. |
