Common Questions and Answers about Carbohydrates counting
carbohydrate
Hi. I was wondering if there's is some free app for carbohydrates counting? I was never good at that. Thank you.
I am looking for an online list of carbohydrates in foods. I see small lists, but nothing very complete. Have you found one? I have a book or two but I would think it exists online. Thanks.
I suggest you eat frequent small meals and stop counting calories. Take up lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, oats and other whole grain products and lean meat and take carbohydrates in moderation and limit fat and sugar. Week by week slowly increase the exercise which should include both aerobics and strength training. Drink plenty of water and non fattening fluids such as clear soups etc. Look for hidden calories in salads and soups and avoid them (eg: cheese, butter, dressings etc).
Levemir is a background insulin NOT intended to counter eating carbohydrates. for meal insulin she will need a rapid insulin like Apidra or novalog. counting carbs and taking a rapid insulin based on HER particular insulin/carb ratio will work better at lowering her after meal numbers.
Also eating carbohydrates... ALL carbs raise BG. what does she eat? I eat under 25gr of carbs per meal.
My doctor recently said i need to get my head around the carb counting a little better as the hba1c is high.Can anybody tell me the best way of putting back on weight??
Humalin is not the fastest acting insulin. You may be better off using a faster acting insulin to better cover the foods you eat. Ask your Dr. about other fast acting insulin such as Humalog.
Also you could cut back the amount of carbohydrates (particularly grains; pasta, rice, potato, bread, fruit, added sugars) that you eat to further help stabilise blood sugars.

Some months ago, I started a specialized diet; it contains relatively few carbohydrates, and my persistent heartburn went away. I didn't think much of it until I discovered the writings of Dr.
I suggest you eat frequent small meals and stop counting calories. It is best to eat lots of fruits and non-starchy green veggies, go slow on fats, eat carbohydrates in moderation and increase your protein intake (lean cuts, whites of eggs etc). Drink plenty of water and non fattening fluids such as clear soups etc. Look for hidden calories in salads and soups and avoid them (eg: cheese, butter, dressings etc). Hope this helps. Take care!
This diet will be very low in carbohydrates, which are replaced with healthy unprocessed fats, and with adequate protein. While vegetables such as corn and potato should be avoided, most other vegetables are fine to eat if you choose to try low carb.
Please come back and let us know what you try and how you are going.
Dear schmoop,
i am not a doctor just another diabetic trying to help from my experiences. i only a Minimed 508 pump, which is an old pump by today's standards. i have never see an electronic carb counter and i belong to the ADA and get their magazin Diabetes Forecast and have never see one advertised there, though that doesn't mean they aren't available. i do my carb counting from books and after a while you get to remember your favorite foods and the carbs per serving.
thank you so much!! I have always been confused because my doctor never told me anything about that! also, I learntabout this thing called "carbs counting", is it necessary for all diabetes to know about this?
When used in larger amounts, as in cooking and baking, these calories and carbohydrate should be accounted for by carbohydrate counting or by using starch/bread exchanges. As an example, one half cup of SPLENDA® Granulated contributes 12 grams of carbohydrates and 11 to 20 grams are counted as one starch exchange.
In SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener Packets, sucralose is combined with maltodextrin and dextrose. These ingredients contribute 1 gram of carbohydrate and four calories per packet.

This does not mean that all carbohydrates must be avoided but it is necessary to limit carbohydrate intake and to choose what are called complex carbohydrates in place of simple carbohydrates. The goal for a type 2 diabetic is to maintain their blood glucose within a safe range. Complex carbohydrates are broken down at a slower rate than simple carbohydrates meaning that the glucose is released into the bloodstream at a slower rate allowing more time for the uptake of glucose.

if possible , start carbohydrate counting. You may need to buy a basic scale in order to measure raw materials going into your curries and their carbohydrate count. The net has number of sites which can help in calculation.
Best of health.
