[QUOTE="Petaluk, post: 1760904, member: 472096"] Hi all! Please would someone be kind enough to explain the difference between carbs and sugar? I’ve just recently been diagnosed with type II diabetes and am currently on 500mg metformin to increase next week to 1000mg a day.( I need to lose at least 70 lbs!!) I’m just really confused about the carbohydrates situation. In the past I have followed the Atkins diet which tells you to look at net carbs (sugar I think) - no more than 20g a day As a diabetic.. How many total carbohydrates a day should I be limiting myself to? What is the maximum amount of these carbohydrates that should be sugar? I am so confused as reading about carbs ,some are gi - slow releasing, how do you count these or should I just aim to eat these type only? Or just count total amount of carbs a day. Gosh, I am so confused!! Thank you [/QUOTE]
