[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2395752, member: 372717"] Depends on the crackers. Some are lower carb than others. If you look on the packaging it should list the carb value. Two ways to go low carb 1) Measure your bg before and 2 hours after a meal and if it goes up by more than 2mmol/L you've had too many carbs. 2) Pick a total daily carb figure (eg 100g) and see how your levels go if you reduce to that level. If they aren't good enough go lower. Some people have to go down to 50g or 20g so 100g is a moderate start. No reason why you can't do both. And bear in mind that some people find they can tolerate some foods better than others, so it's not entirely the carbs. *Though lower is better.) Good luck. [/QUOTE]
