During the instructional sessions, the rationale for carbohydrate counting was explained. Commercial booklets containing a list of the carbohydrate content of foods were provided, and participants were introduced to websites or cellular phone applications designed to assist the public with determining the carbohydrate content of various foods. The participants were taught to calculate the amount of insulin needed using their personal I:C ratio, IS, correction factor, and the glucose target goals prescribed by the Diabetes Clinic team. Participants were encouraged to keep a food diary to assist them with carbohydrate counting.
