[QUOTE="SugarBuzz, post: 1446387, member: 74883"] In relation to insulin is a carb just a carb no matter what? Getting to grips with carb counting - it's more difficult than it initially seemed. Lot's of guesswork and hypos involved (which I hardly ever had before making a conscious effort to try and get my blood sugars down to a 'healthier level') I know there are slow release and fast release carbs and I generally don't eat too much of the fast stuff unless treating a hypo. Another big question - when it says on a food packet for example 23g or carbs OF WHICH SUGARS 17g should I just take the 23g figure into consideration? Does the 'sugar' part matter? Help. I've been having hypos every day and often more than once in the last few weeks - and I haven't even started 'sports' training again properly yet. This used to be rare when my bs were constantly running at around 10.5 mmol average. [/QUOTE]
