How many grams of carbohydrates are in a single carb serving according to the nutrition recommendations for patients with Type 1 Diabetes?

  1. 15 grams

  2. 10 grams

  3. 20 grams

  4. 25 grams

The correct answer is: 15 grams

A single carb serving, as recommended by nutrition guidelines for patients with Type 1 Diabetes, is 15 grams. B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the recommended amount of carbohydrates in a single carb serving for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes. Consuming too many carbohydrates can lead to spikes in blood sugar levels and can be especially problematic for those with Type 1 Diabetes who may have difficulty regulating their blood sugar levels on their own. Therefore, it is important for patients to adhere to the recommended amount of 15 grams of carbohydrates in a single carb serving.
