well - that all depends on how you individually choose to treat the sugar alcohols.
some people take them all out -
23 - 6 - 11 = 6 ECC
some people take out half:
23 - 6 - 6 = 11 ECC

some people might count 1/3
23 -6 - 2 = 15 ECC

If you have blood sugar issues you have to determine how those specific sugar alcohols influence your blood sugar - is it more like no carb or pure sugar in your case - that sort of thing.

For me, I tend to count about 1/2 - but I also try to not have a serving of something with so many grams of SA -- the most in something I eat regularly would be LC ice cream bars with 9 total 2 fiber & 2 SA - and I assume 7 ECC for counting in that case - since it is a treat and I don't want to think "oh, I can have two for 10 ECC" - better for me to think "one for 7ECC - OK as an occasional treat"

11 SA's at one time would give me definite gastro issues. about 4 or 5 at once is all I can comfortably do--whether or not I count it as carb. And the type would be important as well--maltitol, I would avoid. period erythritol--probably okay.
