    Track diabetes carbs

    No matter which diet type you’re following, you can keep track of carbs that affect glucose using one of two options for diabetes.

    • Diabetes carbs (UCSF) are based on the University of San Francisco Diabetes Teaching Center's publications.
      This method tracks: Total carbs minus fiber, allulose, and half of the sugar alcohols.
    • Diabetes carbs (ADA) are based on advice from the American Diabetes Association.
      This method tracks: Total carbs minus allulose, half of the fiber (if 5g or more), and half of the sugar alcohols (if 5g or more).
    Note: By default, Carb Manager assigns net carbs (total carbs minus fiber, allulose, and sugar alcohols) as your initial carbs to track.
    1. To update your carbs to track, go to Settings icon Settings.
    2. In the My Settings section, select App Settings icon App Settings.
    3. In the Macros Settings section, select Carbs to Track.
    4. Choose either Diabetes carbs (UCSF) or Diabetes carbs (ADA).
