Complex Carbohydrates ■ ■ Complex Carbs, or Starches are long chains of sugars linked together. (long term energy compared to sugars) ■ Found primarily in; whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and tubers (root veggies) Did you know? ■ Your body must break down complex carbs to simple carbs before it can use them for energy.

Complex Carbohydrates

The Role Of Carbohydrates ■ Your body converts ALL simple & complex carbs to Glucose ■ Glucose: a simple sugar that’s the main source of energy for our bodies ■ ■ ■ The glucose that is not used is stored in the liver and muscles as a starch-like substance called; glycogen. When your body needs more energy the glycogen is converted back to glucose. Excess carbs taken in and not used are converted to body fat

Diabetes ■ ■ The pancreas makes the right amount of insulin to move glucose out from the blood to the cells. Insulin: helps glucose enter the body’s cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for future use. Type 1: the body’s immune system begins destroying the cells of the pancreas that produces insulin. Type 2: Over time, the body loses the ability to create enough insulin in response to meals.
