What is wrong with 5g of sugar in a portion? It is not an unreasonable amount if someone, like me, is eating around 80-100g of carbs a day. We are all different, our responses to carbs are different. As someone who is unable to tolerate artificial sweetners, a small amount of sugar like that is not an issue.
I dont get this demonising of all and every carb and telling people they have to stop every one or risk amputation or blindness.
For many, carb intake is a sliding scale, balancing several health issues and dietary needs The last thing we need it to be vilified for saying we have some carbs. its enough of a struggle as it is.
I will also point out that the recipe doesn't specify type 2 diabetics, It is for type 1 and other types as well.
I am all in favour of pointing out harmful advice, but this is petty and further pushes the NO CARBS or you are not doing it RIGHT agenda I find so often among some diabetics. This extreme view, which is often not even necessary, is harming the uptake of low carbing (I have heard this first hand with several discussions in real life with people). It puts people off trying before they even start, which is counterproductive.
Low carb is 130g or fewer of carbs a day. People should be guided by their meter readings.
