The trouble with diabetics???

From: Nev. on 3 Aug 2008 13:42 Could the trouble with diabetics be that we are used to being ignored as nuisances??? For several years I have been buying, and enjoying, a diet strawbery jam that had 4.1% carbs. But not anymore. The only strawberry jam I could find today had 65% carbs, or 60% sugars. I remember some time back when somone on this news group called me an idiot for carefully calculating the sugar, ie carb, in milk, but the amount of sugar in milk has a bearing on the amount of cereal you can eat and enjoy.

I eat cereal. I never have milk. I'm allergic. And I pay no mind whatever to the sugar content of the food I eat. Just thee carbs and the fiber.

Or perhaps you got criticized by someone who, not very recently, earned an entry in my killfile.

Why are you so focussed on the *%* of carbs in a food rather than the actual amount (with or without the fiber amount)? bj |
