carbohydrates and their effect on blood sugar levels
Carbohydrates are a type of nutrient found in foods such as bread, rice, and fruits that can be broken down into sugar molecules by the body. When consumed, carbohydrates raise blood sugar levels as the body digests and absorbs them. This can have an impact on blood sugar control, especially for individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance.
