[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2295982, member: 401801"] The main thing is carbohydrates. Check those. You can disregard "of which sugars", because practically all carbs turn to sugar once ingested. The more carbs there are, the less you'll want of it. [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] might help some. But all in all, if something's high in carbs, I steer clear. Decide for yourself how low you want to go with your diet, by testing your blood sugars regularly and figuring out which foods work for you. (Test before a meal and 2 hours after, you're looking for a rise of no more and preferably less than 2.0 mmol/l). I'm currently doing a near-zero carb diet, but when I started out I think I was nearer 80 grams of carbs a day. Just pick a starting point that seems doable to you and start testing from there.
