Eating foods too high is carbs will do that. I haven't had real pizza in so long, can't remember. If you go low carb with your eating, you will no longer have the acid problem and spice you food as you like.

It depends on what you eat. If you eat something with a lot of sugar, fat, high carbohydrate your blood sugar will go up. I was told that there are 3 "P's" to modify when eating. Pizza, Pasta, & Pie. They raise blood sugars. You have to get yourself a good calorie, carbohydrate & fat book (CALORIE KING) that will help you know more of what is in foods you eat. Also, if you go to the American Diabetes Association website (diabetes.org) you can learn a lot about food values and etc.

@A DiabetesTeam Member. Blood sugar rises because of the components tge food is made up of. Somethings like whitebread,salt&fats found in some pizzas are likely to spike up blood sugar. So you need to watch out and be careful
