Ok, thanks all. Better safe than sorry, I'll stick to the total carb information. Cheers, Andy :)

I'm doing ok with this low carb malarkey, lost lots of weight and got my blood sugars into the normal range but I'd like to get more of an understanding of things. Soooooo, when you read the carb content of a product; should you be concerned with the carbs overall or the 'of which sugars'...

Thanks, not a fan of avacado but blackberries is one to add to the list, thanks!

I'm sure this has been covered before but I'm looking for fruits to accompany my beloved double cream :D Yesterday I had raspberries with were about 6g carbs for 50g. What else can I have with a similar 'bang for my buck'?! Cheers, Andy

Thanks guys. I really am grateful for what I've learned here. I have worked hard at it but without the information gleaned here I would probably have taken the NHS advice to keep eating carbs and who knows, perhaps I would've been on meds by now?!

Thanks! I just didn't want to 'jinx' myself ahead of my first blood test, now I know for sure I'm on the right track I'll probably bore you all to tears with progress threads. :)
