I always use the Calorie, Carb and Fat Diary for my carbs. In here it says broccoli is 1.1g of carbs per 100g and cauliflower is 2.1g carbs per 100g. On my iPhone app Broccoli is 7g carbs/100g which is a big difference! What is the correct counts for both please as am confused?

Thanks. I ended up having wholemeal toast and peanut butter after and stayed up about another hour. It's quite scary stuff :shock:

I couldn't cope with my eyes whilst they readjusted so went to the opticians and got a cheap pair of glasses made knowing they would only be for the short term. I work on a pc and couldn't see to do anything.

Thanks for the replies. Have just had a bowl of Greek yoghurt with sweetener, a sprinkle of Lizi's granola and a few blueberries. Will test again in 15 mins.

Hi I'm pretty new and am currently low carbing and losing weight to reduce my BG. I have (under supervision) reduced my Levir from 10 units to 3 over the last few weeks and am 2 weeks into Victoza 1.2. My readings are almost all in the 5's. Have just taken my BG before bed and am 4.4. Have...
