[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2350969, member: 355878"] Although I am very sensitive to carbs I don't differentiate, no good and bad carbs to my mind - so if a powder is slightly high carb if consumed in quantity, but contributes little to the total carb count of a meal, then that is fine by me - so there is a jar of peach flavoured tea in the cupboard and I occasionally drink a pint of it - but I count the serving size, not the total percentage carbs of the powder, and I check the amount added to the hot water just for my own peace of mind, though these days I need to dilute it down with double the volume of water advised as it is over sweetened. I do think that sometimes the objective of controlling blood glucose is obscured by doing the magic to get low carb. These days - 4 years from diagnosis I can eat a moderate amount of carbs if it would be a problem to find anything low carb, and I know I can deal with it, though I do sometimes feel sympathy for those who have it as their everyday fodder and often like to show the mettle of my normal pasture even as a dumpy OAP. I'll always have to eat low carb because it seems that is what I was designed to do, but it only enhances my logical frame of mind. [/QUOTE]
