I looked it up and it was 4 carbs
It has raised my blood sugar considerably
Anyone else experience this?

All of the flavored syrups at Sonic have sugar. Even the "diet" cherry limeade. And remember, one serving is 8 oz (a small at Sonic is 14 oz), so you must multiply that by the size of your cup. The Calorie King app is the best I have found for fast food carbs.

15 and 16 year old kids preparing that food and serving it. I went to burger King years ago and got a whopper with a small diet coke. The coke tasted off, but drank anyway. Few minutes later my meter couldn't read that high and I spent the entire day lowering my sugar.

Yeah. It's a great little tool. I love it!

I agree, unless you know its diet for sure, it all up in the air. Sonic is one of those places where you have no idea what was put in that cup. I couldn’t tell you the last time I went to sonic. I prefer to get my own drinks, where I know it’s sugar free. 😎

Cherry lime aid is one of my guilty pleasures. Don’t get them often and when I do, get a small. It definitely will raise your sugar levels as does Coca Cola. Compensate with a little extra insulin.
