Hi NormaAnn,

First of all, Welcome to our friendly, caring Community, we have a lot of knowledgeable Members here across the Forums willing to share experiences. Check out our Peripheral Neuropathy and Arthritis Forums for support for your particular issues - as well as this Forum for your Diabetes. If someone could pop up the links, I'm not set up to do it today, thank you.

As for nett carbs, I am still learning here and in the Real World how my Diabetes affects me, and how everything works, but having read this Thread and looked elsewhere, nett carbs do seem like 'smoke and mirrors' to me. I will definitely stick to 'real carbs' counting on my calorie controlled and Diabetic diet. Just my opinion.

You could always make up a meal and count the Real Carb content, then note your bloods, then next day count Nett Carbs to the same value in a similar meal and compare test results.

Dave.
