It can be a great shock to anyone who has just been diagnosed with diabetes. Questions arise in the mind on the foods you ought to consume, the medications you have to take, and the management of your blood glucose. Actually, the diabetic diet is very similar to an ordinary healthy diet. The amount of carbohydrates consumed is what matters most. Since carbohydrates can change into glucose or sugar very fast to raise the levels of blood glucose, diabetics have to count the carbohydrates they consume.
