Hi.
I am currently reading Think Like A Pancreas which I am finding really quite interesting. There have been a few lessons learned so far (and I'm just up to page 91) including this...
If a food is high in fibre, such as bread, then you take the grams of fibre off the total carbohydrate amount.
The example Gary Scheiner uses is ...
High fibre cereal that contains 8g of fibre and 31g total carbohydrate should be counted as 23g of carbs.
Is this something typically not taught by the NHS or did I fall asleep in that part of my DAISY/DAFNE course?
Also, what would then class as high fibre?
