Carb Detective 🔎
Daily · 3 puzzlesRead the label, check the portion, crack the case! Labels show typical UK values for each food. Choose realistic adult portions or children’s portions for ages 5–11. Brands and recipes vary, so always check your own food packaging.
Learn the method: Diabetes UK: counting carbs. This puzzle does not calculate insulin doses.
Sources: typical values from McCance and Widdowson’s Composition of Foods (CoFID 2021), adjusted to the basis used on food labels. Adult portions from the British Nutrition Foundation’s “Find your balance” portion guide. Children’s portions from the Caroline Walker Trust’s “Eating well for 5–11 year olds”, sized for an average child of that age. Every child’s needs differ, so follow the plan from your diabetes team.
