how do we start carb counting for diabetes type 1?
Posted on May 12, 2009 under diabetes | 2 CommentsMy partner has just finished honeymooning and now we to learn this carb counting and exchanges. We live in a small town with a general dietitian,he doesn't specialise in diabetes. Where can we find info on carbs in fruit and veg and what is the basic info needed to start working this out till we can see diabetic dietitian?
there are carb counts on MOST foods these days
i also recommend you get a CalorieKing book.
it is awesome and very helpful!
for veggies
1 cup, cooked= 10g of carbs.
and most fruits like bananas and apples are 25g of carbs
the most important thing is to get your insulin:carb ratio
and make sure you count your carbs properly and take
the correct amount of insulin.

Nearly everything has carb info on labels. There is a good web site with carb info on anything you can imagine – http://www.calorieking.com We buy one of the calorie king books every couple years to carry with us because it has EVERYTHING in it! I would think a general dietician should be educated enough to help you.
