CARBOHYDRATE AWARENESS WORKSHOP
This is a two hour group education session of approximately 8 people who are keen to
stabilise blood sugars levels by eating consistent amounts of carbohydrate each day. The
course is run by a Specialist Diabetes Dietitian.
The aim of the course is to help you learn about carbohydrate contents of foods you eat and
help you decide the amounts of carbohydrates to aim for each day to give you better control
of your diabetes.
The following topics are covered:




Which foods contain carbohydrate
How much carbohydrate do your meals contain
Setting a target amount of carbohydrate for each meal
General refresher about diabetes and healthy eating
Other dietary information depending on needs of the group
It is really important you bring a food diary to this session. Please write down for at least three days
all that you eat and drink through the day. It is also useful to bring a current week of blood sugar
results (if you test), a copy of “Carbs and Cals” (if you have one) plus a pen and paper. You may
also like to bring a drink.
