The Carbohydrates Confusion!

So much been said on the forum about carbohydrates, I get a little confused with the varied methods, on how carbohydrates are being used with our daily diets.

To understand the condition diabetes I need to know more about what role carbohydrates plays to make a good choice diet.

Can someone explain some of the science behind these healthy foods and explodes
some of the negative myths that have surfaced in recent years about carbohydrates being bad for you, things I need to know!

The importance of carbohydrates!

What happens if we don’t get enough carbohydrates?

How do we get carbohydrates from our diet?

How much carbohydrates should we eat?

Aren’t carbohydrates fattening?

What does the glycaemic index of carbohydrates means?

Can low carbohydrates diet really help with weight-loss?

Studies have shown using carbohydrates counting as a method of managing your diabetes, which require discipline practice and a great knowledge about diabetes. In the past I found the forum a great source for information, I dear not embarked on such a quest, with-out knowing, some of the facts and answers.
Your profound knowledge will be appreciated. Thank you

Many people will try to tell you what you can’t eat with diabetes.
Most will be well-meaning.
Rather than compounding the problem by telling you what you should
eat, I’d recommend a simpler method, eat by your meter.
