Counting Carbohydrates

Carb counting is the cornerstone of the diabetic diet. Carbs drive blood sugar, so keeping carb intake low means keeping blood sugar low. You should check the number of carbs in every food and drink you consume, and try to stay within a target range for meals and snacks. Work with a doctor, nutritionist, or certified diabetes educator to help you set carb goals appropriate for your weight, activity level, and medication.
