[QUOTE="Alison_C, post: 1072956, member: 274010"] Carbohydrate counting means she has a greater freedom of what she can eat compared to how things used to be for diabetics, but there are certain things (like full sugar soft drinks) where the sugar enters the blood stream too quickly. Taking insulin won't control that sugar, as by the time insulin has started to work the blood glucose levels will already be high. She needs to take into consideration the glycemic index when carbohydrate counting. Full sugar soft drinks should really be kept for when she needs to treat a hypo. [/QUOTE]
