How should I manage my carbohydrate intake as a diabetic?

Managing your carbohydrate intake as a diabetic is important for keeping your blood sugar levels stable. Start by choosing whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, or whole wheat bread instead of refined grains. Pay attention to portion sizes, and try not to skip meals to keep your blood sugar more consistent throughout the day. Include a variety of colorful vegetables and fruits in your meals for added nutrients. Be mindful of added sugars in drinks and snacks, and opt for water, herbal teas, or low-sugar options. Lastly, working with your healthcare team to create a balanced eating plan tailored to your needs can help you make delicious and healthy choices.
