Hi xyzzy, not sure where you get your information but as a Swede I seriously doubt that 25% of us is following a low carb diet - we're a nation with a huge crush on potatoes :wink: I wouldn't say that the government is actively promoting low carb either and definitely not a very low carb one. The Swedish diabetes association recommends 4 different kinds of diets, one of them being what they call a moderate low carb. This one gives you 30-40% of your energy from carbs.xyzzy said:...The Swedish government is actively promoting "low carb" to its general population as a means of combatting the ever increasing rise in obesity, diabetes and associated health issues. It's now though a quarter of Swedes try and follow a "low carb" regime...

:wave: .....Typically I use 5 units for breakfast, 6 units for lunch and 6 units for my evening meal, you'd be surprised Hana how many British Diabetics inject less than 7 units per meal.
BTW well done Sam :thumbup:
