carbs in wholegrain rice

[curlygirl]

I'm interested how many carbs per 100g people allow for wholegrain rice when working out insulin?
The rice I use until recently gave 71g per 100g of carbs, but the new packets say 22.5g per 100g.
As this was such a huge change I contacted the company about it. I have continued to allow the same amount of insulin for it as I always have, but I was concerned that someone coming to the calculation the first time would be way off due to the incorrect figures. The company replied that 22.5g is the average carbs per 100g and this is what most manufacturers quote.

There is no way that I would have enough insulin on those figures, so am interested what other people allow as the carbs in it.
Thanks

Are you comparing like for like? I find sometimes the figure given is for a dry weight of rice, before cooking, and at other times, it's 100g of COOKED rice. Best check the small print.

I ate a whole packet of Uncle Benns wholegrain rice with a Quorn stirfry on Wednesday night and did 8 units of insulin to counteract the rice.

Thanks for your replies.

I think you are right Robin - they have changed the information on the pack so that it is per 100g COOKED, instead of AS SOLD.

If I had changed brands then I might have looked, but as it is the same one and the rest of the wrapper looks the same I did not see this small, but very significant difference!

Thanks again.
