Hi!
I bought my partner who is type 1 diabetic some sugar free biscuits. He is just learning how to carb count, we noticed although the sugar content is very low, the carbs are 10g per 2 biscuits, he has been eating about 4 at a time.
His ratio we believe at the moment is roughly 1:20 (not 100% yet) can these be enjoyed guilt free without having to inject? Seeing as these are sold in the hospital as sugar free, it's a little misleading!
I also noticed that 'normal' biscuits we were looking at had about 10g carbs per biscuit, this doesn't seem right? Would he be better eating the ones he enjoys most but less of or sugar free ones?
Thanks
