[QUOTE="nutribolt, post: 2363299, member: 533316"] 5.3 today after the eating day yesterday. :) I will be following the advice of [USER=323454]@ziggy_w[/USER] and fasting just today and make tomorrow a normal eating day before the blood test on Tuesday. I am hoping weather remains decent, so I can take Magic for some long walk today. On a separate note, I have some interesting observation from yesterday. On all my eating days the last thing I eat is one [URL='https://kutt.it/keto_choc_bar']keto chocolate bar[/URL] (sometimes even 2) along with a small cup of decaf coffee, and it does not impact my BG adversely. Now they do advertise only 2g net carb per bar but when I was looking at ingredients I noticed carbs as 7g (Carbs 7.0g, Stevia 2.0g, Fibre 9.5g, Protein 8.5g, Salt 0.25g) which confused me especially because if carbs are that high then 2 of those surely would have made my readings go high. So I checked the FAQ section on Amazon and sure enough someone had the same question which was answered thusly: [I][COLOR=#0000ff]The bars are 7g total carbs but you can deduct 4.5g for the polyols because of the sweeteners used which makes them 2.5g per bar. [/COLOR][/I] This was new for me as I did not know that fibre from polyols can contribute towards reducing net carbs but then when I look at the packaging of Erythritol it says net carbs 0 suggesting that they have already accounted for the fibre in it and all this has left me completely confused on this net carb business. I am not going to stop this one treat especially because evidence suggests it has no adverse impact, but I am not much wiser on the "How" of it. [/QUOTE]
