Hello, I have noticed that you all talk about carbohydrate rations, but what is a ration for you?We have been told that for now let's calculate for example about 3 lentils, chickpeas .... They have not told us any portions.You can explain a little. Thank you.All the best.
According to some, a ration is 10 grams of carbohydrates.According to others (such as the link that has happened to you) are 15. It is not too important that you use one or the other, provided you calculate for the same method.
I like to tell the 10 grs as a ration.It is easier to calculate.
To give you an example: you have a juice brick and in the nutritional information it says that it has 15 grs of carbohydrates per 100 ml.If the Brick is 200 ml, it will have 30 grs of hydrates.If you follow the ration of 10 grs, simply divide 30 between 10 and the result is 3 portions.If you follow the ration of 15, divides 30 between 15 and the result are 2 portions.
When you know the "ratio" (insulin units you need by ration), it is simply calculating it with a rule of three.
