Your 2 nd example: 35 g!. carbs - 5 g!. fiber = 30 g!. usable carbs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i always was told it was the same no matter what!. i'm on a carb counting regime and i just take the carb count as is!. as far as i'm aware the more dietary fibre in the food means the food is harder to break down, therefore has a lower gi and keeps sugars from spiking!. so its good for diabetics hoping to achieve well balanced diets and control!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I've always been taught to count all of the carbohydrate!. The dietary fibre [fiber] just gets absorbed at a slower rate than readily available carbohydrate!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I was told by a diabetic that you count off one carb for every one dietary fiber!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
