Everyday use
It’s best to chew the gum after eating or simply between meals. Heavy dental plaque is considered a risk factor for the development of tooth decay in kids. Xylitol gum reduces dental plaque. The beneficial effect occurs when 2 to 3 g of gum are chewed at least three times a day after meals. Excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.
Important for pets: Xylitol is not suitable for pets; dogs in particular must not eat it. Like grapes and chocolate, it is toxic to dogs and can be dangerous even in small amounts.
Frequently asked questions
How does Zuckerschmuck calculate the carbohydrates to be counted (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 carbohydrates to be counted 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 quantity in grams, and the carbohydrates to be counted 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.

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.
