I always counted them and used them years ago as 10g exchanges.  Vegetables are a different matter.  Cabbages, brussels I dont count but broccoli I do and the same for frozen peas and green runner beans.  Sweetcorn is fairly high in carb so you deffo need to count that.  Everything with everything is all trial and error.    Some people need insulin to deal with food and some wont.  Bananas do very little to my bg levels but for most people eating a banana will make their bg levels go fairly high so they need to use insulin to eat them......</blockquote>
