Ah, the teriyaki chicken conundrum! Well, teriyaki sauce does have sugar in it, so it could potentially cause a spike in blood sugar levels, especially if you're sensitive to carbs. Pairing it with fiber-rich veggies or opting for a lighter sauce could help balance things out. It's all about finding what works best for your body!

Teriyaki chicken can raise blood sugar levels due to its high sugar content in the teriyaki sauce, but pairing it with fiber-rich foods like vegetables or opting for a sugar-free teriyaki sauce can help mitigate this effect.
