The following information is about Carbohydrate.

Carbohydrate Defined

One of the three main classes of foods and a source of energy. Carbohydrates are mainly sugars and starches that the body breaks down into glucose (a simple sugar that the body can use to feed its cells). The body also uses carbohydrates to make a substance called glycogen that is stored in the liver and muscles for future use. If the body does not have enough insulin or cannot use the insulin it has, which are the basic problems in most forms of diabetes, then the body will not be able to use carbohydrates for energy the way it should.Sometimes abbreviated CHO.See also: Fats; protein.

This definition is in context to Diabetes. See more contextual defintions for Carbohydrate.
