[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2279037, member: 451727"] Hi there, yes, fruit contains carbs no matter what type of 'sugar' they contain (carbs turn into glucose). To put it into perspective, I have to inject more insulin for an apple than I do for a chocolate eclair. The apple may well be better nutritionally but if viewed in terms of raising levels only then yes, it will, along with most other fruit. You sound like you are doing well by cutting out other carbs and your levels as you say are reducing but the simple answer to your question is that the 4 teaspoons equivalent of sugar in an apple for example is likely to shoot you up. As for it going straight to the liver?, not sure about that but it definitely goes straight into my system. In fact I use fruit as a hypo treatment it shoots it up so fast. x [/QUOTE]
