How to read food labels when we shop at supermarket so that we know the content in food w buy. First we locate the "Nutritional Information" on the food packaging. Look for "Total Carbohydrates" and "Sugars" as both these will be indicated there. Remember that trans fats are the unhealthy fats. Note that the fructose and corn syrup are the worst content that you should avoid.
The purpose of this pattern is to achieve a lower sugar content of 5 grams were obtained from 100 grams of sugar in the presentation of various foods. The goal for people with diabetes is to keep blood sugar levels remain constant in the range that has been recommended by doctors. 45g to 60g of carbohydrates recommended for a meal, diabetics often require snacks in the range of 15g - 30g.
The sugar amount in the nutrition label is the total amount of sugars in the food. It includes added sugars and sugars from ingredients such as fruits and milk. Eggs incidentally have around 1g of sugar per 100g (depending if they are cooked) so these are wonderful nutritional packs straight from nature!

Check the Total Carbohydrates
Carbs are the complex part of sugar so they need to be watched as well. For example quinoa may have only 0.9g of sugar per 100g, but has 64g of total carbs! It is also however high in fibre, so this is where a balanced diet full of a variety of natural foods in your best option for health and weight loss. Moderation is the key when eating high carb or high sugar foods. In saying that, all "junk" foods need to be removed altogether as they have virtually no nutritional value whatsoever.
Another example is an average slice of bread. It = approx. 15 grams or 1 serving of carbohydrate. Although white and wheat bread have a very similar carbohydrate content depending on the brands and labels of course, whole-wheat bread is often best. It usually has more than twice the amount of fiber as white bread, meaning you digest it more slowly, hence your blood sugar will rise more gradually after eating it.
