@Alexandra100 Unsure why this subject matter bothers you ? You do not have a diabetic diagnosis yet alone an insulin dependent condition where carb values are of a paramount importance and can either mean a hypo of hyper, please do not respond to insulin dependent diabetic threads which bear no relevance to you.
Maybe the thread title could have been more specific?@Alexandra100 thank you for your comments, however why again you feel it necessary to respond to a type 1 thread when you do not have a diabetes diagnosis does not quite make sense. In these circumstances my bg levels dropped to near hypo levels and the discussion here is for insulin dependent diabetics to comment on similar circumstances where product labelling was incorrect and meant a miscalculation with insulin, something which can be very dangerous.
I did already apologise for getting carried away, and I do appreciate that for T1s diabetes can be an immediate a life and death problem, whereas for T2s the threat of death and complications is more long-term. I am not the only person not diagnosed as T1 to have posted on this thread.@Alexandra100 thank you for Your comments, however why again you feel it necessary to respond to a type 1 thread when you do not have a diabetes diagnosis does not quite make sense.

I just don't see the issue. The poster wasn't commenting on insulin doses etc, they just commented about how they too had been caught out with incorrect food labelling. Different outcome I know but still. I just think it was uncalled for. We're all just trying to swim through this quagmire that is life.
But food labelling is rubbish in general. I need to go back to college to do maths GCSE again just to work out the carb contents on some packaging. I detest it when it says "per 100g" and the whole pack is something stupid like 76.23569g. ***!!
Being caught out with incorrect labelling means to a type 1 either going high/low, something which a non diabetic has no concept of, hence my insistence on ensuring relevance.
Of course I'd much rather be non diabetic and questioning food labelling but then why would I comment on a type 1 thread ? To be fair if I didn't have type 1 I wouldn't be anywhere near a diabetic forum.
Agree however it was posted in the type 1 forum to make it relevant to other type 1's.

Always keep a calculator handy!
Is that per 100g before or after cooking though?
