Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted Account" data-source="post: 1505350">When it comes down to what is good and bad in terms of carbs, I think there are two things to consider- how many carbs are there in the food?- how does your body react?Until you have the meter, you cannot answer the second question. The first is easy to answer - type "carbs in tomatoes" into a google search engine (or look at the tin) and you will see. The best result to look at is per 100g. Canned tomatoes contain 7g carbs per 100g. When considering vegetables, this is not super high (e.g. potatoes contain 17g) or super low (spinach contains 3.6g). Fresh tomatoes are better (3.9g) so are preferable to, say, carrots in your salad.One thing to look out for is any added sugar - some tins add unnecessary sugar.</blockquote>
