[QUOTE="psr, post: 464236, member: 93159"] Hi I have recently been diagnosed as being diabetic, and am finding the information that I am receiving from various different sources very confusing and was hoping that somebody may be able to help me clarify this particular point that is my latest confusion, I saw a dietician at my local doctors soon after I was diagnosed around 3 months ago That told me to take note of the labels on food in particular the amount of sugar that is released from the carbohydrates per 100g ,They gave me a chart that shows what is considered to be Low sugar ( below 5g per 100g / Medium ( between 5 - 15g per 100g ) and high (15g and over) So I have been focusing on trying to consume foods that fall into the low category and not paying much attention to the actual count of carbohydrates per 100g thinking that if they don't sugar then I don't need to worry about them, However I have now started a 6 week awareness course at a specialist clinic run by the local health authority and have been led to believe that all carbohydrates will turn to sugar making my previous system and advice redundant , This means that I would be better of eating Doritos with 55g or Carbs per 100g than Ryvita with 66g per 100g .So In summary my question becomes ,Is it the total carbs per 100g or just the (of which sugars) that is important ? or is it both [/QUOTE]
