[QUOTE="CollieBoy, post: 961893, member: 26127"] [USER=204066]@QR93[/USER] [LIST] [*]Foods that have '[B]Diabetic[/B]' written on the packaging (usually in big writing on the front). [*]Foods that are reduced in sugar and have "[B]Suitable for Diabetics[/B]" written somewhere on the packaging. [/LIST] These are both advertising ploys and onceyou have ascertined your dietary requirements and the nutritional contents of the foods should be seen as such! after all, most foods have a problem in controlling their insulin, so a stick of celery or a "mars bar" are probably able to be labelled [B]diabetic[/B]. Also what is "[B]Suitble for Diabetics[/B]" is outside the dictat of a marketing lackey as for a T1 at a BG of 2.6, a slab of "Kendal Mint Cake" is suitable for diabetics, if only to correct the hypo!
