Newly diagnosed...carb counting question
I am newly diagnosed with diabetes, and my doctor wants me to shoot for roughly 45 grams of carb per meal. I have been counting just total carbs so far, but upon some reading, it seems I should be adding fiber into the equation. For example, if something has 23g total carbs, and 9g of fiber, the net carbs would be only 14g. So in my meal calculations, I would only add in 14g instead of the 23g? I plan on discussing this with my doctor when I check in with her in another week or so but I'm just curious as to how other folks handle this.
