Manufacturers are obliged to indicate certain nutritional values for packaged foods. Carbohydrates fall under this obligation.
The nutritional values on the packaging are given in 100g per food. It should be noted that the carbohydrate information is always used, never the information «of which sugar». The amount of carbohydrates per portion eaten can now be stated in a rule of three.
Example:
In the example shown, 100g of the food shown contains 86g of carbohydrates. You eat 70g of it. How many carbohydrates does this portion contain?
This grid can also be used as an aid. The calculation is done anti-clockwise with the respective calculation symbols:
The result is given in g carbohydrates. In the case of an insulin pump, this value can be entered in this way. When using an insulin pen, the result must be converted into values. As a value contains 10g of carbohydrates, the previous result must be divided by 10.
Example
Insulin pump: 60.2g KH
Insulin pen: 60.2g: 10 = 6.02 value
