The dietary recommendation is not to count:
- Vegetables excluding starchy ones like potatoes
- Legumes and beans
However when I carb count I factor in all carbs so I just wanted to ask what do you guys count and what don’t you?
I find that if I have only had protein e.g. fish and non-starchy veg such as broccoli then my blood sugar drops lower than it should because I bolus for the broccoli which is slowly digested but surely the carbs within it become glucose in the blood?
I try to balance my meals by including a rapid acting carb source along with intermediate or long acting carb source because I don’t want an insulin peak before a glucose peak.
Any tips from people who have been doing it for years? I’ve only been doing it for a month and a half now
