If you’ve been told you have prediabetes, chances are high that you suddenly realized you needed help understanding carbs!
Should you avoid them? Cut them out completely? Never eat fruit again? What about bread? Are all sugars bad? And whether you’re reading Facebook posts, watching reels, or digging through published journal articles, things all seem to say different things.
PS: You can start by reading my detailed article about carbs and prediabetes!
It’s no wonder so many people feel overwhelmed.
The truth is, carbohydrates are one of the most misunderstood parts of prediabetes nutrition. Fear or confusion around carbs can make healthy choices feel much harder than they need to be.
That’s exactly why I created my Carb Mini Course — a practical, easy-to-understand resource designed to help you learn about carbs with clarity, not fear.
Why Understanding Carbs Matters for Prediabetes
Carbohydrates impact glucose, but that does not mean carbs are “bad.”
In fact, learning how carbs work can be one of the most empowering steps you take in managing prediabetes. (And also knowing that labeling food or nutrients as “good” or “bad” tends to push you toward a negative relationship with food, which can also negatively impact your glucose!)
When you understand:
- That you don’t need to eliminate carbohydrates to manage your glucose
- How to figure out which foods contain carbs without stress
- How to adjust what/how you’re eating to better support glucose
- The difference between added sugars and naturally occurring sugars and their impact on health
- Why fiber matters and how to add more without feeling bloated or yucky
- How beverages can sneak in added sugars and ideas for what to drink instead
…you can make more confident choices without feeling restricted.
