Require food labels to list 'Carbohydrates per unit' alongside 'Carbs per 100g'.

Petition Details

Diabetics calculate insulin for the amount of carbohydrates eaten. Packaging usually gives 'Carbs per 100g'. So, if there are 3 items in a 85g packet, you must divide the Carbs/100g by 100, multiply by 85 and then divide by 3 to get the Carbs for the unit you will actually be eating! Complicated!

Additional Information

Make it easier for diabetics to calculate the correct (and safe) dose of insulin by insisting food labels include the 'Carbohydrates per unit'. Insist all manufacturers do this clearly.
