[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1433511, member: 94045"] It is all a big learning curve, so don't worry about things you don't yet know. This forum will help you with any questions you have. If you have a look at the nutritional information label on your Activia, and on any other packaged food, look for the "total carbohydrate" amount. (Ignore the "of which sugars" because the sugars are included in the total amount). That will tell you how many grams of carbs per 100g there are in that product. If it is 10g per 100g that is 10%, so 10% of the portion size you eat is carb. You can then work out the actual number of grams in your chosen portion size. Most of us are told not to test if we are T2 not on insulin, but this is wrong. Testing before and after eating tells you exactly what that meal has done to your levels and gives you the chance to reduce the carbohydrate portion size or eliminate something next time. Your nurse won't agree, but the best bet is just ignore her. It is your health at stake, not hers. Testing is taking control. [/QUOTE]
