I know "normal" size jelly babies have approx 5g of carbs each in them but what do mini jelly babies have please?
 
I don't know, I think I would have to weigh them out to see how many in 100g 🙂
 
These are Asda mini jelly babies & it says on the packet per 100g = 82.5g of carbs or per 25g serving 20.6g - I think you are better at maths than me :D
 
You need to find out how much one jelly baby weighs, then multiply 82.5 by (weight of jelly baby/100).

So if one jelly baby weighs 2g, you do 82.5 x 0.02 = 1.7g of carbs.
 
Just count how many are in a packet and then divide into 82.5g. so if there are say 40 then they weigh 2g each (82.5/40). Are you trying to see how many you need to treat a hypo?
