Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The final AdultCarbQuiz consisted of 43 items divided among the six domains as follows: carbohydrate food recognition (19 items), carbohydrate food content (6 items), nutrition label reading (4 items), glycemic targets (4 items), hypoglycemia prevention and treatment (5 items), and carbohydrate content of meals (4 items). Because some patients have been taught to count carbohydrate content as grams and others use the common 15-g carbohydrate servings (sometimes called "carb choices"), the domain of carbohydrate food content (items 20-26 on the quiz) was offered in both formats, and participants were instructed to complete one or the other.
