Yes, it's all about the carbs, but SF stuff also has sugar alcohols that you should pay attention to as well when bolusing. Like I said, all you have to do is divide the number by 2...so if something is 10 carbs and 10 grams of sugar alcohols, you'd divide the sugar alcohols by 2 and get 5, then add the 5 on to the carbs for a total of 15 carbs. That's what I was told anyway and it's worked for me!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032040751678678327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705829484047551171.post-31583184305111528402011-07-21T17:42:13.382-04:002011-07-21T17:42:13.382-04:00That's what Vince always tells me...That's what Vince always tells me...Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361096702591999799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705829484047551171.post-81308549706702636932011-07-21T17:21:28.191-04:002011-07-21T17:21:28.191-04:00Sandy, no matter how long we live, new things will...Sandy, no matter how long we live, new things will always come along and confuse us.
