Hi
T2D diagnosis end of April and trying to get my initial 13.5 A1C test down: next test due in early August.
Since then I have been targeting a low-medium carb intake dietary approach of less than or equal to 150g carb per day.
However- despite doing this for 2 months now- it suddenly occurred to me to question whether I should be targeting the total carb amount or the Atkins/ American notion of "net carbs"- which I believe is total carb minus total fibre (I could be wrong there). My 'net food diary' app also provides a net carb calculation.
Anyone have an opinion on this 'total Vs net carb' question?
thanks
