Carb "exchange"
 | Hi, LindaAlbert. Our exchanges are very precise – the only margin for error is in nature and if you used processed products (which we are truly, truly hoping you don’t!). If you run into problems, please do repost. |

 | That is very helpful. Thank you. Guess I need Togo over the material again. I just finished my first week & I lost two lbs! |
 | I am a diabetic on insulin using one unit of insulin for 7.5 grams of carbohydrates, therefore a + or – variation in carbs might make a difference of +1 or -1 unit, or more, insulin in my mealtime dosage. This amount of error could have serious consequenses for me especially if I take too great a dose of insulin. I would prefer actual nutrient content in grams instead of just exchanges. Thanks. |
| | Hi, Ch00Ch00. Our exchanges are similar to those of the American Diabetic Association (see ours here https://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists). |
| | Please explain the exchange numbers. For instance, one food says 1/2 carb and 1 protein. When I read a label it says, numbers in grams like 25g carbs or 16g protein. How does one measurement translate to the other? I am just ending my first week. |
