[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 1970855, member: 450212"] As [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER] was trying to explain you were looking at the wrong thing really, ignore the RI bit, look at the per portion/grams/volume. So for the McDonalds Coke (medium sized on the UK site) it shows Carbohydrate (g) per portion=42 %RI=16% of which sugars (g) per portion=42 %RI=47% So for the medium its 42carbs in total, and of those carbs, 42 are sugars - ie all of it. But yeah for the purposes of diabetes, all you need to know is the total carbs. [/QUOTE]
