Hi,
Dietician told me that I only had to count the sugar carbs in baked beans, so not to take the total carbs (as so slow releasing it doesn't really affect blood sugars)
My daughter had some (reduced sugar) baked beans on toast. 200g baked beans - total carbs : 24g (of which sugars 7g). I only counted the 7g carbs as instructed. Her post-meal reading however was higher than I expected (12.2). I'm now thinking it may have been the beans? Especially reading online about others counting the total carb contents, rather than just the sugar carbs?
Of course the high reading may just be a fluke, but just wondering what other people's experience with bakes beans are?
