[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1995515, member: 408573"] You can ignore the 'of which sugars' part of the label as this value has already been added to the total carbohydrate value. Where you may come unstuck is the value per weight, sometimes it is given as carbs per100g/ml but sometimes it is given per serving. For instance a can of soup may be two servings but be e.g 75g per serving not per can. The fat content is up to you, if you are wishing to lower your carb intake then raising the fat intake to compensate for the fuel from the lost carbs would be wise [I][B]however,[/B][/I] as you are on a medicine that actively lowers blood glucose levels then great care has to be taken i.e you must test with your glucometer more often and it would be wise to speak with your prescriber before you embark on any dietary changes. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
