                      Carbohydrate counting

                      Melvin by Melvin

                      Home Diabetes Prevention

                      How much Carbohydrates is the right amount? Should I bother with carbohydrate counting?

                      The amount of carbohydrate to consume will vary depending on:

                      * Your current weight or your desired weight
                      * Your current height
                      * your level of activity – how active or you or how much exercise do you do
                      * whether or not you are taking medications to control your diabetes
                      * Your age
                      * Other complications or medical conditions suffering from

                      The suggested minimum amount of carbohydrates for adults is 130 grams per day.

                      This will provide a minimal amount of carbohydrate for various organs in the body such as:

                      * The central nervous system and brain and
                      * Skeletal muscles (for movement) that prefer to burn carbohydrate as an energy source.

                      So the answer to the question; how much carbohydrate is the right amount or how much should I eat?

                      No one know for certain because the condition are relative but whatever amount that is agreed with your health care provider may be the right amount.

                       Foods high in Carbohydrates?

                      * Breads, cereals, pasta, and grains
                      * Rice, beans, and starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn, peas)
                      * Fruit and fruit juices
                      * Milk, cheese, and yogurt
                      * Regular sugared soda, fruity drinks, and candy
                      * Cakes, cookies, and chocolate candy (too bad this list includes chocolate. My favorite.)

                      Foods without Carbohydrates

                      * Protein: Meat, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs, peanut butter, tofu
                      * Fat: Butter, margarine, mayonnaise, cream cheese, sour cream, nuts, seeds, avocado

                      Why Should You Keep Your Blood Glucose Controlled

                      An HbA1c of 6% or less is normal for non-diabetics people. A level of less than 7% is considered the most desirable level for diabetics and represents tight blood glucose control.

                      A level of hemoglobin A1C of 7% or less has a decreased incident of:

                      * 33% in diabetic blindness (retinopathy).
                      * 16% reduction in heart attack or stroke.
                      * 54% in kidney disease (nephropathy).
                      * 60% in nerve disease (neuropathy).
                      * 27% reduction in the overall risk of death.

                      Pregnant Women

                      Controlling blood glucose is very important for a diabetic woman wishing to become pregnant.

                      For a pregnant woman with poor blood glucose control, the risk for a baby to be born with birth defects is about 6-10%; this is roughly twice the incidence for birth defects if the mother’s blood glucose is well controlled.

                      For those with extremely poor blood glucose control in the first trimester (3 months), there may be up to a 20% risk for birth defects.
