I would be interested to know how you got on with counting your corn on the cob. I have always counted sweetcorn pre DAFNE because like you say there is quite a lot of carbohydrate in it. I was surprised to find from my DAFNE course that you do not need to count either peas or sweetcorn because of how these are digested by the body. I haven't counted them since and don't seem to have any problems. |

I had a problem with Corn on the Cob as well. I counted it during my Dafne course and it resulted in low blood sugars. Was told not to count it. Have carried on not counting it and seem to be ok with that. Go with whatever is best for you. |

I still count tinned sweetcorn, even though I get the unsweetened varieties there still seems to be a lot of carbs in there. |

You apparently dont count the carbs in corn because of the high fibre content. I dont count it and dont have problems. |

I count the CP value of sweetcorn on the cob, and inject QA according to the ratio for the rest of that meal My BI is 16 (7 at breakfast, 9 at bed) |
