Carbs are the body'smain source of fuel and are necessary to maintain proper function. The type of carb and portion size are what matter most. Think of your carb intake like rain: We don’t want a drought or a flood but a nice even sprinklingthroughout the day!CLINICAL NUTRITION
WHAT ARE CARBOHYDRATES? Starches Made from grains: pasta, bread, rice, corn,potatoes, beans Sugars Fruit, sweets, dairy Fiber Fruits, vegetables, whole grainsCLINICAL NUTRITION
STARCHES Foods high in starch include: Starchy vegetables: corn, green peas, potatoes, beats Dried beans, lentils and peas pinto beans, kidney beans, black eyed peas and split peas Grains like wheat, oats, barley and rice Crackers, tortillas, breads, pastaCLINICAL NUTRITION
SUGAR Simple or “fast-acting” carbohydrate. There are two main types of sugar: naturally occurring sugars - milk (lactose) or fruit (fructose) added sugars - added in processing such as fruit canned in heavy syrupor sugar added to make a cookie (sucrose) Examples of common names are table sugar, brown sugar, molasses, honey, beetsugar, cane sugar, confectioner's sugar, powdered sugar, raw sugar, turbinado,maple syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, agave nectar and sugar cane syrup.CLINICAL NUTRITION
FIBER Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nutsand legumes. Beneficial for digestive health,management of cholesterol levels,and aids in satietyCLINICAL NUTRITION
WHAT IS GLUCOSE?Glucose type of sugar your bodies form of energy!Glucose ENERGY The carbohydrates we eat are turned into glucose by the body. Glucose provides energy for: Cells Brain Every function in the body!CLINICAL NUTRITION
HOW DOES FOOD AFFECT BLOOD SUGAR?CLINICAL NUTRITION
WHAT IS INSULIN?Insulin Hormone made by the pancreas Insulin is the key that unlocks the celland allows glucose be used as energy! We need to pair glucose (or carbs) withinsulin in order to get energy from thefoods we eat!CLINICAL NUTRITIONglucose
WHY IS CARB COUNTING IMPORTANT? Eating consistent amounts of carbohydrates at meals andsnacks keeps your blood glucose in a healthy range The goal is consistency: Too many carbs make blood glucose (hyperglycemia) Too little carbs make blood glucose (hypoglycemia)CLINICAL NUTRITION
CARB COUNTING BASICS The average 2000 calorie diet may eat 45-60g carbs per meal Carb consistent diets are usually used at first diagnosis Pts may then transition to insulin-to-carb ratio (ICR) for insulininjections or use with an insulin pump (ex. 1:10)CLINICAL NUTRITION

PREPARING FOR ACTIVITYCLINICAL NUTRITION
PREPARING FOR ACTIVITY Regular physical activity is important for overall health and wellness Its important to balance insulin doses with the food you eat andactivity you do (even if just house or yard work) Planning ahead and knowing your body’s typical blood glucoseresponse to exercise can help you keep your blood glucose fromgoing too low or too high. If blood glucose is less than 100 mg/dL or greater than 300 mg/dL,no strenuous exercise until blood glucose levels are within range.CLINICAL NUTRITION
PREPARING FOR ACTIVITY Your blood glucose response to exercise will vary dependingon: your blood glucose level before starting activity, the intensity of the activity, the length of time you are active, and changes you’ve made to insulin doses.CLINICAL NUTRITION
HYPOGLYCEMIA Sometimes people experience a drop in blood glucoseduring or after exercise, so it is very important to monitoryour blood glucose, take proper precautions, and be prepared to treathypoglycemia (low blood glucose). To learn how different types of activity affect you, you should frequentlycheck your blood glucose before, during, and after an exercise session Physical activity can lower your blood glucose up to 24 hours or moreafter your workout by making your body more sensitive to insulin.CLINICAL NUTRITION
HYPERGLYCEMIA Blood glucose can also run high temporarily during orafter exercise, especially with high-intensityexercise that increases stress hormone (i.e., glucose-raisinghormone) levels. If your blood glucose is high before starting exercise, check yourblood or urine for ketones. If you test positive for ketones, avoidvigorous activity. If you do not have ketones in your blood or urine and you feel well,it should be fine to exercise.CLINICAL NUTRITION
PRIOR TO ACTIVITYFOLLOW THE 15-15 RULE:1. Check your blood glucose.2. If your reading is 100 mg/dL or lower, have 15-20 grams ofcarbohydrate to raise your blood glucose.3. Check your blood glucose again after 15 minutes. If it is still below100 mg/dL, have another serving of 15 grams of carbohydrate.4. Repeat these steps every 15 minutes until your blood glucose is atleast 100 mg/dL.CLINICAL NUTRITION
