Are low carbohydrate diets good for people with diabetes since carbohydrates raise blood sugar?

0

We know that carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel (energy) and foods containing carbohydrates should provide about half of your calories each day. Low-carbohydrate diets tend to be higher in protein and fat. Following a high-fat, high-protein diet over a long period of time can be hard on the kidneys and heart. People with diabetes are already at risk for kidney and heart disease, so adding low-carbohydrate diets to the mix could cause problems. People with diabetes need to follow a diet that contains the right amount of carbohydrates, so they can do the things they like doing while keeping their blood sugar levels under control.
