Though many of the folk here go keto to control their levels, many just do low carb, though I admit that is probably a little less than 165g.  Brown carbs may be absorbed more slowly than white ones, but they still get absorbed.Anyway here's my favourite link to low carb and T2[URL unfurl="true"]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL]I expect some T2s will be along soon to give you more informed advice.Good luck.</blockquote>
