[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2312617, member: 196898"] It is not always all about carbs and sugar levels. These articles cover other health hazards from other constituents of diet that may be relevant. For instance, I have T1D friends who were struggling with diet sodas. Hidden sugars off label can give wrong bolus values where Malitol and other sugar alcohols are added but only declared in the fine print and not the Carb values (the labeling system only makes manufacturers declare sucrose as a carb. Also the carb values are not measured at all but are estimated from a standard reference table of ingredients - it is an approximation at best). Other topics mentioned are how bad BPA is, and how much salt is in some prepared foods. How some oils turn to transfats when over heated or baked. Little things like that that maybe are not important if you can cover it with insulin, but then again, maybe not. Please let people read and make up their own mind. [/QUOTE]
