Carbs or Net Carbs?

Ah, now I understand. I am from the farm, where I cook from scratch and prepare whole food from the garden, and eat very little that comes from cans or boxes, except for what I dry or can with a pressure canner. I read labels well, but quit buying many foods with labels because of the ingredients added and my desire to eat well and safely. I haven't eaten cereal from a box in years, except when I use the All Bran for making muffins. I make my own granola mix because nothing in the store is low enough in sugar to please me. That is why I am so surprised to have this diabetes problem. I am guilty of too much baking for my family over the years, and not keeping the weight off because I don't exercise as much as I should. And I am getting older but living in denial about my body's ability to keep ahead of what goes in my mouth. It is complicated, isn't it?

@dorisena I try not to buy canned foods also, but I do not have a garden, and my little grocery store has only a few fresh/organic veggies. That's why I used the mixed greens can as an example. If you have no cans or items with a Nutrition label, use the internet and just type in the search bar whatever you want to check for carbs. It will give you the same info.
