The nutrition info on this soup is pretty horrific. The whole can contains 47g of carbs and 7g of sugars! Eww. That’s a lot. For comparison, a can of condensed Chicken Noodle soup has only 20g of carbs and no sugar.
So I knew that eating this entire can was a bad idea. But I already had the damn soup from my pre-diabetes life, so I figured it would be OK to eat just half a can and save the rest for later.
Blood sugar reading before eating: 104
This reading of 104 was after work, so I hadn’t really eaten anything since lunch.
Blood sugar reading after eating: 171
This reading was about an hour after I finished the soup. During that hour, I went out for a short walk with Terry the Dog.
So this result is pretty terrible, mainly because I only ate half of the can of soup. 104 → 171 would be acceptable to me if I had eaten something more substantial, like a whole meal.
Now, Campbell’s Chunky Soup is the “soup that eats like a meal,” but not if it’s half a damn can!
I did a whole writeup on how Campbell’s soup is generally bad for diabetics, and this really confirms it. I’ll still eat the rest of the Campbell’s soup I have on hand, but the only ones I’ll probably keep eating in the future are Chicken Noodle and maybe Cream of Mushroom if I need it for cooking.

I can’t believe you have T2 and you’re eating this crap! Clam chowder? Tacos? It’s ridiculous. you should be doing post eating proteins and fats
and non-starchy vegetables,and demonstrating how they don’t raise your blood sugar!
Don’t get upset about what I eat. I mean, really … what’s the point? I eat what I’m comfortable with (including plenty of vegetables), and I try things here and there. Sometimes the results are good, sometimes they’re bad. That’s actually what this blog is about.
