Hi,

I wonder if someone can help me - I had Gestational Diabetes with my first pregnancy and I am now pregnant with my second baby. I was told today that I needed to start watching what I eat and limiting the amount of sugar/carbohydrates I am eating. My question is regarding the nutritional information of food items and whether or not you count the total carbohydrates figure on a product as part of your allowance or just the "of which sugars" figure?

Many thanks
 
Always count the 'Total' carbs figure.

Using just 'sugars' is highly misleading for a Diabetic. Total carbs includes the sugars.

Thank you very much - I thought as much but wanted to be sure.
