Question: How Do I Balance My Daily Carb Intake?

Answer:

Using a resource like the Diabetes Food Pyramid can not only help you keep your daily carb totals in line but also provides guidelines on healthy portions of all foods. A nutritionist or dietitian can also give advice about total calories and weight loss in addition to the right carbohydrate amounts for you.
