Other Carbs

Any idea if other carbs are counted in with cereal?  She gets to pick out one sugar sweetened cereal to eat every now and then but it will also have other carbs to count.  The cereals that are not sweetened will also have the other carbs in them to.  Trying to get my childs glucose under control and would like to make sure I can count for every carb that needs to be counted for.

It sounds like maybe you didn't get your question answered. I'm a bit confused as to what you are asking. Whenever you count carbs, you don't look at " carbs from sugar"  or anything, you just look at total carbs on the package. The only exception is if the carbs from fiber are more than five than you can subtract that from the total. Also remember to count the milk and any fruit you put on the cereal. Although people without diabetes think all we have to avoid is sugar, really it is carbs altogether. Many of us can not eat cereal at all without spiking too high and have to eat eggs or something else for breakfast.
