 As a diabetic, you probably have a restricted availability of foods at your disposal. We thought we'd make it a little easier by identifying the sugar content in our products. We've analysed our recipes to give a realistic estimate of how much sugar is in every jar of our product. We've then broken it down by serving, so you can see at a glance which products have a lower sugar content and how much sugar you are consuming per serving. It's important to remember that it is only an estimate. It has not been lab-tested, but it is a good guide.
Feedback & Caution We hope this information is helpful and would welcome feedback on how to make it better. Please remember, however, that this is not intended to be medical advice. It may not be appropriate for you to have any sugar in your diet. If in doubt, please do speak with your diabetic adviser or doctor - just to be sure. |

How does this informatin help me as a diabetic? We have learnt, through our diabetic friends, that it's not always possible to exclude sugar from your diet entirely, which is why it is important for you to manage it. You can only do that if you know how much sugar is in a particular food or item.
Use the table on the left to estimate how much sugar is in each serving, which should identify how much you can consume (according to your daily sugar quota).
It's probably also worth remembering that, as we don't pack our products out with artificial junk, there is more natural flavour. Which means you can get away with using less than normal.

Fraser's jams are made from 100% fruit and the sweetness comes from sugars that occur naturally in fruit, so there is no added sugar. Nowadays you can find them in the supermarket, but you can also buy online at the SuperJam website. Diabetic Puddings Don, Dorothy & Justine toil endlessly to give us all a little pleasure in life - and the great news is they also do diabetic puddings. You can find them at farmer's markets and food festivals, but you can also buy online at the The Pudding Shop website. If we find any other producers we know doing diabetic products, we'll let you know. If you want to let us know, so we can post a link then please email us. |
