That is, I think, the difference.PS Although you describe your diet as low carb, and others might agree, there are foods you are eating which would not be on my lists, and the amounts of carbs you eat are twice what I have each day.If your blood glucose levels are good then you don't need to worry so much, but if they are not going down as you'd like then you could modify your menu to avoid the foods which raise them and still have enjoyable meals.</blockquote>
