Deduct fibre from carbs eaten?

Post by Weasel »

wife is diabetic (type 1, not 2, she is very healthy), and her doctor told her to deduct carbs from fibre from her total carbs eaten that day, however, I have noticed that the daily nutrition tracker does not deduct fibre but does track it. So, deduct or not?

Net carbs should be Carbs minus fibre yes, so if there is at least a fibre total coming on the software, I'd deduct yes.
