Neutral criteria for assessing products, without recommending or rating a brand. First, the ingredients list, short and easy to follow. Second, the type of sweeteners. Third, the nutritional values per hundred grams, especially sugar and carbohydrates. Fourth, the fibre content. This overview is for orientation, not promotion.

How I approach this list
This overview is deliberately neutral and grows over time. It isn’t meant to be a ranking or to advertise any brand, but to give orientation on which providers even exist in the field of blood-sugar-aware nutrition. Any later assessment follows the same transparent criteria – so that brands stay comparable and aren’t sorted by sympathy or advertising budget.
What I look at in a product
- Ingredients list: short and understandable, or a long list of additives?
- Sweetener: which type is included – and in what amount?
- Nutrition per 100 g: above all sugar and usable carbohydrates.
- Fibre: how much is there per portion?
These criteria say nothing about “good” or “bad” – they only help to place a product yourself, instead of relying on packaging promises. Where possible, I check concrete blood-sugar effects against my own CGM data and clearly mark them as single-case observations.
Key takeaways
- A growing, neutral overview – not a ranking and not advertising.
- Placed by transparent, repeatable criteria so brands stay comparable.
- I look at: ingredients list, sweetener type, nutrition per 100 g, fibre.
- Concrete blood-sugar effects, where checked, come from my own CGM data (n=1).
