How can I navigate food labels with diabetes?

Reading and understanding food labels is essential for managing diabetes. Look for key information such as total carbohydrates, sugars, and serving sizes. The glycemic index of foods can also help you understand how they affect your blood sugar levels. Choose foods that are high in fiber and low in added sugars. Be cautious of 'healthy' labels, as they can sometimes be misleading. If you're unsure about a product, don’t hesitate to ask your GP or a nutritionist for guidance. Learning to navigate food labels can empower you to make healthier choices.
