@Kyambala what carbs in curries, mince and diet coke. There's no carbs in mince, curry or diet coke it's all about what you put with it that's the issue. The item with the most carbs is the peas which I rarely eat anyway. Education is the key and you can find a LC alternative for almost anything.
As you say "its all about what you put with it". But I did read somewhere (can't remember where) that Diet Coke is "not good" for Diabetics. And peas, as you say, are sweet.
