Carbohydrates??.

Question:

Concerning diabetes.does carbohydrates good or bad for diabetic?

Answers:
Carbohydrates are not bad for anyone - including diabetics. The food we eat gets converted to carbohydrates during digestion. If a person has diabetes, it is best to limit the number of "simple carbohydrates" eaten with each meal.
"Simple Carbohydrates" are those that cause the blood sugar to rise quickly - examples are: plain sugar (candy, sweet pastries, cookies, and the like), certain sweet fruits and fruit juices, rice, potatoes, and white breads. On the other hand, the "complex carbohydrates" such as those in whole grains, vegetables, and higher fiber fruits are very good for diabetics and non-diabetics alike.
Since diabetics have a deficiency of insulin, and insulin is needed to "carry" carbohydrate fuel into the cells, it is best for them to not have too much simple sugars in the bloodstream at any one time.

Your body breaks down carbs and turns then into sugars. Don't you think this is bad?

Carbs can be OK for a diabetic, you just need to eat "good carbs". Those are ones that have a lower glycemic index. YOu can find several books on this these days. Lower glycemic index carbs don't spike your blood sugar like refined carbs & keep you fuller longer.ie high fiber grains & cereals.
