[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1705530, member: 94045"] You should be on either 6 monthly or 12 monthly blood tests as part of your diabetes care plan at your surgery. Your doctor or nurse usually order these. How often have you been called in up to now? Do you get annual retinal eye screening and an annual foot check for sensation? These are all part of the diabetes care plan. As for nutrition labels, you need to look at Total Carbohydrate and then make a judgement according to how much of that food you intend to eat in one meal. A very general rule that many follow is nothing over 10g per 100g. Some say nothing over 5g carbs per 100g. But if you are only going to eat a teaspoonful it probably doesn't matter. If the packet contains 400g of product and you are going to eat half of it, you will be eating 200g, so the amount per 100g needs to be doubled. [/QUOTE]
