[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2455907, member: 401801"] In the US, carbs include fibre and those need to be deducted for net carbs, but over on our side of the pond, that's not an issue. Fibre and carbs are already separated (and thus, "net"), on our nutritional information. (I was so surprised when I got negative figures when deducting fibre from the carbs I was having... That's what I got for reading American literature on the issue. ;) ) So if all you've been eating is 20 grams of carbs a day, with glic in the mix, high numbers and the occasional hypo due to the medication... Then yeah. Good move getting further testing done. It's still early days, but if you can get that ball rolling when it's hard to get anything done at the moment, do! And yes, I can see how you're getting fed up with all this, it'd be nice to know where you stand... You're certainly giving it your best go and not getting anywhere right now, so hopefully getting some proper answers will help with both your blood sugars and the current frustration! Hugs, Jo [/QUOTE]
