carbohydrate counting
Carbohydrate counting is a method used by individuals with diabetes to manage their blood sugar levels. It involves tracking and calculating the amount of carbohydrates (sugar and starch) consumed in meals and snacks, as carbohydrates have the most significant impact on blood glucose levels. By determining the carbohydrate content in food, people can adjust their insulin doses or medication accordingly, helping them maintain stable blood sugar levels.
