OK - so really confused now.... I'm just getting the knack of carb counting (I thought) - I have a small electronic scales and its really helped....
So I guess I'm thinking about it a bit more - fine tuning my ratios etc if you will - and I'm also reading Think Like A Pancreas.... last night I read a bit that said "of course, don't count the dietary fire in food when calculating your dose. If it's listed, subtract it from the total carb amount"
- but I also happened to see my DSN this week 0 and because I was already thinking about how to fine tune carb counting - I asked her - do I just count all carbs as listed on the packet - and she said yes.
So now I'm really confused - do I count dietary fibre or not....??
ie - if something has 35g carbs, but 12 grams are dietary fibre - do I bolus for 35g or 23g....?
Help!
