Carbohydrates are the number most families use for insulin dosing. Fat and protein can slow digestion and affect glucose later, especially in rich or fried meals.

Indicative nutrition values per 100 g of the prepared dish, compiled from public food composition data. Recipes vary widely, so treat these as learning estimates. Glycemic index (GI) shown is an indicative value for the prepared dish: Low is 55 or below, Medium is 56-69 and High is 70 or above. Mixed meals, fat, fibre and cooking method change the real glucose response. These values are for learning and planning only, not medical advice. Home recipes, restaurant portions and cooking oils change the numbers a lot. Always confirm carb counts and insulin doses with your doctor or dietitian.
