Carbohydrates encompass a number of different sugars, starches and fibers which are found in food.
In diabetes, when insulin is not produced by the body or when the cells in the body don't recognize insulin, glucose is not able to get into certain cells to provide the fuel that cells need to function. So people with diabetes must balance the amount of insulin taken with the amount of carbohydrates eaten. Now you can compare sugars and total carbohydrates more accurately. Remember to limit refined, simple sugars. Alcohol sugars, sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol are also listed separately.
