Carbohydrate counting

Carbohydrate counting or "carb" counting is a meal planning tool used in diabetes management to help optimize blood sugar control.[1] It can be used with or without the use of insulin therapy. Carbohydrate counting involves determining whether a food item has carbohydrate followed by the subsequent determination of how much carbohydrate the food item has in it.
