abstract	Carbohydrate counting is a useful method to control one's intake of foods, and is especially relevant for persons with Diabetes. It is an important tool of Diabetes management, and its approach to meal planning is flexible. Carbohydrate counting revolves round the foods containing larger amount of carbohydrates, and aims at planning meals in such a way that blood sugar remains within normal ranges. There are certain foods which have high carbohydrate contents compared to other food. Example of foods rich in carbohydrates are: foods made of grains like breads, pasta, cereals; vegetables & fruits, particularly root crops like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams; all alcoholic beverages like beer and wine; desserts and candies; most of the milk products except cheese. Some foods may be nutrient-dense carb foods while some may be low-nutrient carb foods. Foods prepared from whole grains, legumes, milk products (except cheese), fruits and vegetables are example of nutrient-dense carb foods. Low-nutrient foods include table sugar, candies, and beverages containing alcohol. Once the digestion process starts by break down carbohydrates into glucose and release it into the blood streams. The available blood-glucose is either use for energy or stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles, or there is no energy requirement then glucose is converted and stored in the body as fats. All the above-said glucose metabolism requires insulin; people with diabetes cannot produce enough insulin or not sensitive to insulin, and thus they need to maintain their blood-glucose level with medications or insulin or lifestyle changes.
