Carbohydrates, or sugars, are your bodies preferred fuel. Examples of carbohydrates are fruits, starches, milks and many vegetables.  These foods supply us with important nutrients for health and disease prevention.

To balance our blood sugars we need to evenly and consistently distribute our carbohydrates intake over the day in 3 meals and 0-3 snacks as needed.

It is important to know your personal carbohydrate targets for a healthy balanced diet and to balance blood sugars with your diabetes management plan.
