    The Carb-Counting Quiz II

    The better you become at learning to measure and estimate the carbs in the food you eat, the easier it will be to regulate your blood sugar levels! Test your carb-counting knowledge with this fun quiz.

    By, Ginger Vieira

    The amount of dietary fiber listed below the "Total Carbohydrate" amount on the nutritional panel of a food can be subtracted from the total amount before you determine how much insulin you need to take to cover the carbs in your meal because fiber is not digested and absorbed into the bloodstream.
