My question is what size can are you drinking? And what other foods are you eating? So much depends on your metabolism and what it can handle. I can handle a small can of V-8 (my favorite tomato juice), but I can't go crazy with it. I know because I test frequently. What does your meter tell you? Dianne Hi Joanne,

question is what size can are you drinking? And what other foods are you
eating?

So much depends on your metabolism and what it can handle. I can handle a small
can of V-8 (my favorite tomato juice), but I can’t go crazy with it.

I know because I test frequently. What does your meter tell you?

If you drink a 48 oz. can, it could be a problem. That would contain 60 grams of carbs. Everyone is different so you need to test.

It raises my BG so high,so quickly and so predictably that I keep the small cans(7gms/carbs) in my car and gym bag to treat any Low BG. So, I could never just drink it without killing Bg. At least I get it if I'm low( which doesn't happen very often). Anyway, we are all different so before drinking a can check your BG with your meter, then again at 1 hour then 2 hours after. The numbers will tell you what you want, excuse me,need to know:). Aloha, Marge Hello Joanne, I LUVVV tomato juice as well as spicy V-8 veggie juice.
