Nutella has 22g of carbs in a 2 tbs serving. Hazelnut is probably fine, but you have to watch out on whether it contains added carbs. There are tons of ways to use peanut butter. There are a bunch of recipes at Lindas (http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/), and don’t forget peanut butter can be mixed with some other flavors such as acid and hot pepper to make some very interesting flavors.
Chele,
!/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup water, 1 TBS white vinegar or 1 TBS fresh lemon juice. Stir & let sit about 10-15 minutes. It curdles & gets sour. Use less water if you want it thicker.

Good morning Gerri
Got any recipes for homemade salad dressings or where I can find them. Store bought is getting expensive and can not find any low-carb. in the stores.
LOL, Chele, thats like asking GE if they have any light bulbs.
I know in the book, Bernstein comments on the inclusion of hypo carbs into your daily total. Can anyone point out where this is in the book? Id like to read up on it. Thanks.
Oh and sorry about bringing this back to life again!
I don’t know how low carb this is, but I think you may be able to alter the buttermilk with Gerri’s suggestions.
Buttermilk or Ranch Dressing
1 cup mayo
1/2 cup buttermilk
1TBSP dried parsley
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt
The original was from Southern Living. I buy dehyrdrated buttermilk, but if you can’t do that many carbs, do the treated cream.
Try a Goole or the good old ADA and watch them run around for a while. Think I would try Google first and ADA if bored.

Found any of your answers yet?
Havent had time to research it yet. Im in the midst of Christmas Chaos, and the end of two classes. Ill keep you posted on my finding in a week or so.
Actually, I am not aware that Bernstein states anything specific on this. I will however suggest a response and I'll leave it to others to point out that I am a bonehead. The 6-12-12 diet limit dietary carbs from a meal and applying the "law of small numbers" thereby limits the variation in your blood sugar. Carbs taken to compensate from a hypo do not count if they properly bring you back to a normal fasting. Since your next meal will still be the same amount of carbs and presumably your bolus will properly cover it, the carbs used to cover the hypo have no effect on your next postprandial blood sugar and hence don't count.
On the other side, one could argue that treating a hypo consumes some insulin on board since insulin is used to "cover" those hypo carbs. But I'll stick with my first answer.
Hi PX,
What do you eat for the prot/carb nighttime snack that helps? What time do you take it?
Thanks! Mary
