How to Read a Package Nutrition Label

Hi,
While chosing a Cream of Wheat product for breakfast this morning, I read the nutrition label on the back of the box and came across "other carbohydates" in additon to the value listed for "total carbohydrates" listed above, and it got me to thinking.
What is that?
My enthusiasm for sharing this info is wanting to "pay it forward" (everyone here has been so helpful to me since joining this group) and to also help me gain a better understanding when it comes to pre- planning out my meals, making better choices, and tweaking my blood sugar controls.
Having not come across this "other carbohydrates" thing before, (for me it's label reading 101) and wanted to share.
