I’m T2 following a low carb diet around 60-70g a day. Should I deduct the fibre count from the stated carb count?

If you are in the UK no.. if in the US yes.
If anywhere else show us a sample label please.

I think it depends on where you're getting the carb count from. In the US they tend to include fibre in the carb count so you need to deduct the fibre to get net carbs, but in other countries the carb figure is net of the fibre already....

Happy to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable if I've misunderstood though.

Can you give an example of where you are getting carb figures from?
