[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 394817, member: 74042"] [b]Re: What is the difference between carbohydrates and 'of whi[/b] So, I understand the various type of carbs, complex vs simple etc, I'm an athlete and before I became diabetic (diagnosed last week, type 1) I had a pretty good diet with mainly complex carbs, lower GI apart from during races where I had more but not exclusively simpler carbs. The question I have now that I'm actively counting carbs is how to deal with the things that have either higher protein or higher fibre in there typically lentils, pulses, quinoa etc. I've had advice from the daibetes nurse to ignore the carb content in those, but then also seen advice elsewhere to count the net carbs i.e. total carbs-fibre. Anyone got any experience or suggestions that might help? Thanks Dave [/QUOTE]
