Frequently asked questions
How does Zuckerschmuck calculate the countable carbohydrates (Net Carbs)?
For the shop information, we subtract the listed polyols from the carbohydrates. Always compare the same reference quantity, such as 100 g. This is our calculated Net Carbs figure and not an individual insulin-dosing recommendation.
How do I convert the countable carbohydrates into KE or BE?
Use the Diabetes KE Calculator from Zuckerschmuck: select an item from the range or enter the value per 100 g, specify the amount in grams, and the countable carbohydrates will be converted into KE and BE; the calculator does not provide a dosing recommendation. One KE corresponds to 10 g of carbohydrates, and one BE to 12 g of carbohydrates.
Is xylitol suitable for people with diabetes?
“For diabetics” is no longer an official product category for food. Birkengold Organic Xylitol Sticks are a sweetener made from xylitol. The nutrition facts table lists 0 g of sugar per 100 g.

** Note on carbohydrates: Polyols are listed under carbohydrates in the nutrition facts table. We calculated the countable carbohydrates as follows: carbohydrates minus polyols, as also described by diabinfo, the diabetes information portal of Helmholtz Munich and the German Diabetes Center, for sugar substitutes. Some polyols are partially digested, so observe how your levels respond.
Important information: May have a laxative effect if consumed excessively.
Organic xylitol is not suitable for pets: Dogs in particular must not eat xylitol. Like grapes and chocolate, it is not tolerated, and even small amounts can be dangerous for some dogs. *A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are very important for your health.

How do I calculate insulin for low carb products?
Low-carb products say "sugar-free" on the packaging, but the carbohydrates are usually very high. What does that mean and how much insulin do I need for it? The carbohydrates from polyhydric alcohols have no effect on the metabolism and do not increase blood sugar levels, so they do not need to be calculated in terms of insulin dosage. In concrete terms, this means: you check the packaging to see how many carbohydrates are stated. From that, you subtract the information "of which polyhydric alcohols". The result is the number that you need to take into account in terms of insulin dosage.
