Flash Strips
Keep in mind that the strips are made with food starch (i.e., tapioca usually). So, even though it has no sugars, it still adds to your carb intake because of the starch. Starch readily becomes blood glucose just as fast as sugar.
Oh, I forgot to mention. In the food industry, starch isn't sugar (even though, to the body it is). So, even though it contains starch, they can say it's sugar-free with 0 carbs. In fact, it probably has a couple (if not several) grams of carbs because of the starch. Just one of the little ways the food industry has to mess with us and our diets.
