Why is there a difference between carbs logged in a meal, nutrition front screen nutrients & the pie chart screen? I use this to control my insulin intake & now the values are all different & which means I can't trust what I am seeing. I have a samsung phone. TIA. Ingrid3182e56vghag.jpg

    For the total on your pie chart, they subtracted out fiber. In the nutrients tab, they haven't. Fiber doesn't really need to be counted in carbs for blood sugar control. In fact, fiber helps a lot with blood sugar control. Think wanting more fiber, less of the "other" (non-fibrous) carbs.
