What is a carb and how do you count them?
What is a carb and how do you count carbs? When diagnosed with diabetes, the doctors usually say "eat low carb"... but what does that even mean? What food is a carb? What food has a lot of carbs?

As a type 1 diabetic, I dive into how I measure carbs and how I determine how many carbs are in a specific food.Don't forget to subscribe for more videos just like this!Say Hi on Social Media:www.instagram.com/type1.tribe **Get the Diabetes eBook: https://type1tribe.thrivecart.com/lower-your-a1c-ebook/?_kx=MzeGuPvxeytNDQ-tghoKH_PspYc6LK9iC-sFKAAdmU4.VQxKgT
