Crystal commented on Crystal's blog post 'What are "other carbohydrate?"'
"Hey guys thanks for the info. I included the milk as well. Sometimes there are foods that just react badly with me and I think this may be one of them. I'll try it again once more and see if I have the same reaction, if I do I just won't…"

What are "other carbohydrate?"

Posted on August 16, 2011 at 1:05am 5 Comments

However I was recently thrown off when a package I was reading listed the total carbs as 25g for the serving size and then below it the package said other carbs were 9g. So my question is are the "other carbs" counted in to the "total carbs" or is it something I need to calculate into the total carbs? I don't have insurance so… Continue

I'd enjoy seeing your work. This site has been great for viewing a variety of diabetic artists and their work. And for posting work. Thank you, creators.

I like to draw, but my favorite medium is a block print. Initially I draw the plates, then carve them. Once the template is finished I ink the plate, then press paper or fabric over it. Everything gets reversed--left becomes right. It's a mirror image of the template. I'm starting to break out here in Denver, but there have been a lot of setbacks. It's awesome that you're major focus is visual arts.
