What is the differece between Swiss Miss No sugar added, 60 cal, carbs 11, dietary fiber 1, sugar 7 that comes to 3 grams, and my sugar when up. Nestle No sugar added, 50 cal carbs 9, dietary fiber 1, sugar 8 that comes to 0 grams, and my sugar did not go up.

Hi joybug! I was reading your comment....
"I tried Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, 60 calories, carbs 11 grams, dietary fiber 1 grams, sugar 7 grams, that figures 11- 1= 10- 7= 3 grams and my sugar went up. A couple of days later, I tried Nestle No sugar added hot chocolate, 50 calories, carbs 9 grams, dietary fiber 1 grams sugar 8 grams, that figures 9-1= 8-8=0 grams and my sugar didnot go up. What is the difference."
The "sugar" content is already included in the "carbs", so you don't subtract that. The only thing that you may subtract from the carbs is the fibre content....simply because the fibre content slows down the absorption of carbs. So, your calculation for Swiss Miss should read....11-1=10, and the calculation for Nestle No Sugar should read....9-1=8.
The difference is 2 grams more of carbs for Swiss Miss....but there are other factors in the mix....such as fat content. Fat content slows down absorption. As well, were both packets of same amount in size??
Sorry, don't get your math:) "Nestle No Sugar added. Cal 50, Total Carbohydrates 9grams Deitary Fiber 1grams sugar 8grams. 9-1=8, 8-8= 0 GRAMS. Swiss Miss No sugar added. Cal 60 total carbohydrates 11grams, dietary fiber 1 gram, sugar 7 grams. 11-1=10, 10-7=3."
Why are you deducting the number of sugar grams from the number of carbs? If these are sugar alcohols, then they are subtracted.
where are some of the places you've been? Hope you're going via coach...enjoy!

the first numbers you mentioned....124/77, sometimes higher...I have gone thereabouts as low as the last reading you wrote, but it never stayed there. The bottom line, listen to your instinct...call your doctor, if only to give you peace of mind.
Be well dear friend...and let me know how it all comes about!
luv.....linda
About subtracting fibre from carb count....a lot of people are not aware of this...so now YOU know :) And by the way....YOU'RE DOING GREAT!!!
luv...linda
