What is a carb and how do you count carbs?
When diagnosed with diabetes, the doctors usually say "eat low carb"... but what does that even mean? What food is a carb? What food has a lot of carbs? What food has no carbs? Is sugar a carb? How do we avoid carbs? How do we lessen a blood sugar spike?
All of these questions go through a new diabetics mind and no one tells us the information we need to know. As a type 1 diabetic, I dive into how I measure carbs and how I determine how many carbs are in a specific food.Don't forget to subscribe for more videos just like this!Say Hi on Social Media:www.instagram.com/type1.tribe
