QuestionI see a similar question already posted, but you just say, "cut out the foods high in sugar". That is our problem. Which foods are low in potassium yet also low in sugar. It is a real problem for those of us whose lives are being drastically affected and so need these restrictions. We need very specific foods that fall into these two categories. Thanks for your help.
AnswerRobert,
The best way is to take the list of low potassium foods and consult with your diabetologist concerning your specific carbohydrate allowance. There's no sense to be talking about foods at large since much depends on quantities as is mentioned in the answer you probably refer to:

Another way is choose the low potassium foods from the above mentioned list that suit you best and use any free online food nutrient database, e.g., http://fitday.com to figure out carb grams in a particular serving size. Many common food charts you can find in the blog http://atkinszone-recipes.blogspot.com/ for example:
