A member asked:
Should a diabetic pay more attention to carb count or glycemic index?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definately carb coun: Glycemic index is good to be aware about it but Insulin dose calculation is based on carb count. So carb count is more important and practical. If one notice variability in glycemic response it could be related to glycemic index.
