[QUOTE="badmedisin, post: 148188, member: 16874"] If I eat a 'no carb' salad it puts my bg up by about 3mmol. I think you still need a bit of insulin. Dafne is brilliant but the stuff you're not supposed to count is just weird. They said not to count carbs in cherries. Hmm. Maybe if you only eat one... You get about 10 cherries for 1 cp. I would inject for that. Also they said not to count beans, lentils, etc. If I don't count my houmous I get a high bg. They also say there's no difference between fast and slow acting carbs. But if I eat a brown baguette my by is ok after, but a White baguette with the same number of carbs will put my bg up higher and stay there. I think dafne provides a good framework but you still have to experiment to find out what works best for you personally. Btw, potato isn't really counted as a veg. For example, it can't count towards your 5 a day. It counts as a carb along with pasta, etc. [/QUOTE]
