I agree that stores are missing the boat without considering the diabetic population as it is a epidemic in this country. I am in CT and the local Stop and Shop has recently stocked muffins that are "lower in fat" and use Splenda so the sugar is ok but they come in a four pack. If I am going to cheat, I would like it to be a one shot deal as oppossed to a daily regiment. Diabetics need to look at labels when purchasing something.
Low fat means that that it doesn't have the same amount of fat of the regular item of choice. I have been informed that a healthful choice should not contain fat more than 30% of the the total calories. Carbs and protein are other factors for healthy coices.
I also look to see if the labels is serving more than one portion so I would have to double the numbers. I ty not to eat anything with more than 10 grams of sugar.
It would be nice if stores took inot consideration the diabetic population but we have to deal with the fact that we are responsible for our choices.
