So many people don't realize this. There is a lot more to it than just this sandwich has 200 carbs.
Each person is processing things differently. I'm hoping someday for a startup that makes it easy for me to track my insulin response for all my favorite foods so I can make better choices.
After testing on my own I found that the "sugar free Worthers candy" I was eating on my failing low carb diet, actually triggered the same change in my blood sugar as the non "sugar free" version of the candy. I guess this is because some artificial sweeteners act like REAL sugar for some people.

I found the same with the amount of sugar that's in a Splenda packet. Some of us are just very very sensitive to carbohydrates and live our whole lives without realizing.
