carb counting
Tracking dietary sugars
Carb counting is a method of tracking carbohydrate intake, used primarily by diabetics to manage blood sugar levels.
The technique involves calculating grams of carbohydrates in foods to determine insulin dosages or maintain dietary targets: My doctor taught me carb counting when I was diagnosed.
Also used in low-carb diets for weight management.
