I have been searching everywhere for answers about how to cover net carbs with insulin. I want to try Dreamfields pasta tonight, but not sure how to cover the carbs. :noidea:
Dont know...I never use net carbs. I just go by total carb count. So far it hasnt over corrected me too much, but you tend to run lower than I do.I have been searching everywhere for answers about how to cover net carbs with insulin.

Hi Richard, my am carb ratio is 1:4 and my pm carb ratio is 1:5.Hi Breeze, I know you use Novolog and carb counting. Why should this pasta be any different than other foods? Is it because you are not used to eating pasta for a long time? I need 1 unit for every 6 carbs in my meal, or snack. What is your carb ratio?
I remember that question was raised in the classes I took at diagnosis. They said to always go by total carbs. I don't know why some manufacturers have net and total listed on nutrition guides, unless to make the fda happy or something.Dont know...I never use net carbs. I just go by total carb count.
