How should carbohydrate intake be managed for individuals with diabetes?

For individuals with diabetes, carbohydrate intake should be managed by focusing on low-GI and high-fiber foods that have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels. Monitor carbohydrate portions carefully and consider spreading intake throughout the day to avoid spikes. Pair carbohydrates with proteins and healthy fats to further stabilize blood sugar. Regularly check blood glucose levels to adjust intake as needed and consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
