A member asked:

Can someone give me information on carbohydrate intake for diabetes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Broad topic: This is a broad topic that requires intensive patient education. Here are some basic principles. 1: less is better 2: spread whatever carbs you eat throughout the day. Your body may be able to handle small loads of carbs without making your sugars too high hope this helps you get started.
