What is the recommended carb in take for a diabetic patient?

Fiber: YOu want to slow the absorption of carbs. Fast carbs (sugar/candy/soda/sauces) are the worst. Starches are intermediate and hard/packaged carbs that are hard to digest are quite good. Examples are beans, oatmeal, whole kernal grains.

40-60%: of your daily caloric intake should be complex carbohydrates. The balance is divided between fats and protein.

Consistency: There used to be specific recommendations, but the American Diabetes Association has moved away from a one-size-fits-all approach and recommends only consistent carb intake and that specific goals be based on each patient’s workup with a nutritionist or other health professional. If the patient takes insulin, that plan may also include adjusting dose based on blood sugar or more than usual carbs.
