[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 2305916, member: 429870"] Why would you realise this, when the majority of health professionals haven't yet grasped it? My (very kind) GP when recently prescribing a med. for me replied to my objection that it might raise my bg by proudly quoting its label - "sugar free". I had to point out that it did contain maltodextrin, and also sorbitol, which is said to raise bg about half as much as sugar. It is exhausting to have (tactfully) to counter ignorance in our doctors and lies from manufacturers, but such is our fate! Or perhaps more positively, our challenge. [/QUOTE]
