I have met him personally on a few occasions and talked with him. He knows his stuff. The Dr. Ellis I know is also personally knowledgeable about diabetes, not just as a physician, as he has lived with it almost his entire life.

For me, I will use real carbs as my guideline for my diabetes control.
Hi Hopeless,
Thank you for the confirmation. There is a website here in Oz with mostly USA products and it's all labeled in net carbs. And they go on to explain that we must minus the fiber from the actual carbs to get the true reading of the products carbs. They sell slim pasta and Dreamtime pasta for a Premium. I think it's just misleading consumers and I just wanted to get another opinion.

Thank you!
Aussie
