smartlady Well-Known Member Messages 220 Location Norwich Type of diabetes Treatment type Insulin Jan 6, 2014 #2 8oz plain full fat yoghurt 11.4 carbs. 8oz plain low fat yoghurt 17.2. As a rule of thumb. if it's "low fat" sugar is put in to make it taste nicer. Smartie xx

I only have plain low fat greek yogurt but I do read labels and compare them and make sure the ones I have are not higher in carbs than the full fat ones you can find some but I would not know about the low fat flavoured ones as I don't have those
