When the foods today say " net carbs, " do I pay attention to THAT

number or to the entire number of carbs?

Hi Maralee,

Realizing that you have diabetes and putting forth an effort to control it is

the first step to a healthier life. Congratulations on being cancer free.

I'm a 9 year survivor and I thank God everyday.

My understanding is that you count net carbs. Some people can eat the

sugar-free candy without any increase in bg's, while others cannot. The best

way to

know how it will affect you is by eating, then testing two hours later.

Sometimes I do eat the sugar-free, but I can eat a small piece of regular

candy, like a hersey kiss, or one of the miniatures without any increase.

hugs

Hi Maralee.

I do it all the time. Don't want to go back on meds, don't want to gain back

those pounds I lost.
