The final acceptor of electrons in the electron transport chain is molecular oxygen. Electron transport chains are used for extracting energy via redox reactions from sunlight in photosynthesis or, such as in the case of the oxidation of sugars, cellular respiration.
On their website, the American Diabetes Association directs diabetics to eat between 45-60 grams of carbohydrates at each meal. Assuming a person eats three meals a day, this advice works out to telling diabetics to eat a minimum of 135 grams to a maximum of 180 grams of carbohydrates per day.
Instead of watching sugar in diet, diabetics need to watch carb content and type of carbs in diet. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the recommended daily sugar intake for a healthy man is 36g, for a healthy woman it is 20g and for children it is 12g.Obviously, diabetics need to consume much lesser sugar than the above measurements. One leveled teaspoon of sugar contains 4g carbohydrates.hus, diabetics need to spread out their carbohydrate intake over a day. This helps avoid abnormal highs and lows of blood glucose levels. According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetics can begin with 45 to 60 g of carbohydrates per meal. Carbohydrates should make up about 50% of the daily calorie intake.
