Tip of the Week:

There are lots of tricks to counting carbs, and the more you do it, the easier it is. 

Here’s a carb counting tip from a grandmother who has learned a lot about carb counting in the last seven years.  Find more like this in the HealthSims Type 1 Diabetes training course. 

My grandson likes his grilled cheese and other sandwiches with the crusts cut off.  Remember that doing that inpacts the carb count of the bread.  We figured out that cutting the crusts off our bread reduced the carbs from 16 a slice to 10 a slice by weighing the bread slice before and after. - Dee, grandmother of a child with diabetes
