[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1590591, member: 240838"] I have very little packaged food but I hunted up some labels I've saved My tuna says serving size is 2 oz (56g) Mayo 1 tablespoon (14g) Kale sprouts 1 cup (85g/3 oz) total carbs 7g, fiber 5, sugar 1 Maitake mushrooms 2 oz (57g), carbs 2, fiber 1, sugar 1 So yes, it's lists carbs, fiber and sugar separate. I like this as I only look at carbs. Big eye opening example is my beloved avocado. One med sized is about 5 oz which contains 13.5 carbs and 11.5 fiber. I eat about 1/3 at a meal and end to bolus for all the carbs. Actually I'm not sure if it's the fat or fiber or the carbs haha. I just know without it I drop or spike when all else in the meal is the same. Protein only inspike fast and hard and carbs only just forget it. The avo seems to bridge the gap between my food and insulin meeting up at the same time. Tried many different pre post bolus ping and nothing works but my stupid avo. Back to the fiber and carb counting. At DX I was told to eat 20 carbs per meal. I always use 2 oz sweet potato and 1 ounce black beans. I would hypo and hyper all over the place. It was so hard on my body. Then eventually I lowered carbs and insulin and am much steadier. Though of course there are the moments of huh?? They're just not nearly as severe. So I like seeing the full carb content. As all other foods, different fibers act differnt just like fats and proteins. Throw differnt macros in and it changes everything. Then the wind blows and it's all differnt again. [/QUOTE]
