Tips to handle Halloween:
1. If you need to estimate the carbohydrate for straight sugar candies (suckers, jawbreakers,
bubble gum, gummy candy or hard candy), a good ‘rule of thumb’ is to weigh it and use the
gram weight to calculate the carbohydrate. 1 gram in weight is equal to 1 gram of
carbohydrate. This is a close estimate. You will be within 1-2 grams.
2. Sort candy into treats and those which can be used to treat low blood
sugars (Rockets, Skittles). Put in little bags and label with “equals 10g
Carb” or “equals 15g Carb”.
