Make your Ocado shop easier to understand when managing prediabetes
One of the useful things about shopping on Ocado is the sheer number of products available. It can also be the confusing part: a dozen versions of the same yoghurt, granola or wholegrain loaf, each with different numbers on the back.
Review an eligible Ocado online shop before checkout, or forward an eligible Ocado online receipt or order confirmation afterwards, and PrediabetesBasket gives you simple educational feedback on the basket as a whole.
One-time free introductory analysis — a simpler first look at your shop. Paid membership provides the fuller, more detailed personalised Basket Review.

“High protein”, “natural” and “no added sugar” don't tell the whole story
Front-of-pack wording is designed to be noticed, not to summarise a product. A granola described as natural can still be high in sugar and saturated fat; a no-added-sugar drink can still be worth thinking about in the context of the whole shop.
The back of the pack is more useful: wholegrains, fibre, total carbohydrate, saturated fat, salt and the portion size the numbers refer to.
PrediabetesBasket applies that view across the basket rather than judging products in isolation, so the feedback reflects the pattern of your shop.
Comparisons worth making across a big Ocado range
With so much choice, a quick comparison between two similar products is usually more useful than searching for the single best one.
- Breads: is it wholemeal or wholegrain, and how does fibre per slice compare with your usual loaf?
- Cereals and granola: sugars and fibre per 100g, and the portion size on the pack versus the one in your bowl.
- Yoghurt: plain versus flavoured, and how the sugars differ between pots of the same brand.
- Drinks: juices, smoothies and soft drinks, and how much you'd realistically drink in a week.
- Ready meals and traybakes: saturated fat, salt and fibre between two you'd equally enjoy.
- Snacks: nuts, popcorn and bars vary widely — the label separates them faster than the packaging does.
