[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1976025, member: 468714"] HI [USER=499603]@lollerhaylz[/USER], Perhaps buy nuts without the raisins or other dried fruit next time. The sweet taste of the raisins is not worth it. Somethings food companies do not ist all ther carbs in a food product because they are exempt from having to do so. There will some lactose, milk sugar in yoghurt that does not need to be declared because it is not dextrose or glucose. In fat-reduced yoghutrs some sugars might be added , as others have said but the fact may not be in evidence on the labelling. Just because something is low GI does not mean that it will pack a punch. The quantity of it and the concentration of carbs, not just the declared carbs (called the Glycaemic Load. all come into it. Added to all this is that the resultant BSLs from such foods is influenced by the particuylr bugs in our bowel, so there can be a individual response which will not neceesarily match the published GI figutre. If you look at mendosa.com and definitions for GI and GL and Glyceamic Values, you can see that a food can have a range of its GI value, not necessarily a single value. In the end it may be a guide but testing is the best way. A As you say, your insulin to carb ratio may need adjustment. I know mine is different between morning and evening, always less carb g per unit in the morning (= larger insulin dose /carb g). Good luck with sorting it. Perhaps also ask your dietitian how to obtain Vitamin C from vegetables so that you do not need to rely on fruit. There are low carb ways of enhancing taste also. [/QUOTE]
