We discussed different tools and units of measurement.
One of them was a scale.
Japie said that his mom weighs all his food.
''When you have diabetes, your diet is a vital part of your treatment plan. Of course, you know what you're eating — a turkey sandwich, a glass of skim milk, a sugar-free fudge pop. But do you pay attention to the details, such as calories, total carbohydrates, fiber, fat, salt and sugar? Reading food labels can help you make the best choices''.
Keep in mind that ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. The main (heaviest) ingredient is listed first, followed by other ingredients used in decreasing amounts.Consider carbs in context
If your meal plan is based on carbohydrate counting, food labels become an essential tool.
Look at total carbohydrates, not just sugar. Evaluate the grams of total carbohydrates — which includes sugar, complex carbohydrates and fiber — rather than only the grams of sugar. If you zero in on sugar content, you could miss out on nutritious foods naturally high in sugar, such as fruit and milk. And you might overdo foods with no natural or added sugar, but plenty of carbohydrates, such as certain cereals and grains.
All the information above is from Reading food labels.
So here are some photos...
Our second tool was a thermometer.
We visited Ms. Urte's science class and she told us a lot about the temperature.
