I had no idea that Burger King’s Iced Tea (an it was NOT labeled as sweet tea) was this terrible!
No wonder, several hours later my numbers were “terrible”
4:51pm – BG 98, BK 0.3
I took 2tbsp MCT oil to try to help fix things.
5:05pm – BG 84, BK 0.4
5:15pm – BG 81, BK 0.7
5:27pm – BG 72, BK 0.8
6:22pm – BG 75, BK 1.1
I am not pleased! 
Is it my fault? I dunno… I’m fairly certain that it didn’t say it was SWEET TEA!
Assume everything has sugar/carbs in it until you can prove otherwise.
Yeah, I know… but still. I expected plain iced tea!
I called and they said it had a label on it, and I complained about it not being readable…
I’m still going to have my normal supper…but its going to put me WAY over on carbs for the day!
You just can’t trust anybody, can you? They probably got tired of people saying, eww, why does it taste like this…do you have sugar packets? and just dumped sugar in it to quiet everyone down.
I called and complained a bit. They really do need to label it better.
On the plus side, the MCT oil helped being me back to a more normal range.
Yes, because you chose to ingest it without checking what was in it [1]
I’m with Peta Marie, gotta check everything before you eat it.
OTOH, one spike isn’t going to be awful for you, as a general rule. Repeated, a different story.

I did take a look and didn’t see it say “sweet tea” or the other one say it was “unsweetened”. Next time I will ask and then have a small taste to confirm.
I meant look at the actual nutritional panel, as you posted above. As PM said, you can’t trust anything these days. (Except Australians.)
Yeah, it might not have helped. It came out of one of those big dispensers.
I’m not stressed about it too much, mostly just annoyed
Yeah, family was eating and I wanted something to drink

Sugar in iced tea isn’t really too unexpected. But you should try surviving in Norway without lactase. There’s milk in everything, even foods that mist people would never put it in. Even meatballs and sausage have added lactose or whey powder.
I was surprised yesterday by sweet meatballs at the hotel though. I’d never thought anyone would sugar them when they should be salty.
If you’ve ever performed a quality analysis of process control (It’s not “cooking” at a fast food joint, it’s process control) there are multiple points for failure. Why should I trust that some minimally-monetarily motivated stranger won’t (accidentally, flippantly, maliciously) add sugar to my drink? As @regina types:
Amen. Travel is very difficult for this reason. But, as @Juice types:
Yep, stuff happens. Don’t beat yourself up over it (not saying you have) and all will be well.
Then again, yech. Burger King.
I might add that my sister works at BK, but she brings her own lunch. I’d love to have a double cheeseburger on salad though, if only they made that.
Sorry this happened to you. I know you are fighting cancer so every unintentional misstep is disturbing.
I always drink water when I am having a bunless/lettuce wrap something at a fast food place. Safest choice, for certain.
In the south all tea is sweet unless the label says “unsweetened”. In the north all tea is unsweetened and if you want the other kind you will need to add your own sugar.
Someone just sued TGI Fridays for $5 million because their potato skins don’t actually have potato skin. You might have a case.
