Type 2
I've been type 2 for 8 years. I have asked to go on insulin as my levels are still high and we will be trying for baby next year. I know I should know this but on food packaging do I use the 'Carbohydrate' or the 'of which sugars' to count my carbs?

Hi @Summergp - Have you started on insulin yet, or are you picking your way through things along the way whilst using your insulin?
