As you go up the periodic table, ionization energies also increase. To continue the example, fluorine lies highest and farthest to the right, so it has the highest ionization energy. Rank the other elements in the group from highest and farthest to the right down to lowest and farthest to the left. This is the order of their ionization energies. To continue the example, fluorine has a higher ionization energy than sulfur, which has a higher ionization energy than lithium. Notice that hydrogen is something of an anomaly -- its ionization energy lies between that of carbon and nitrogen, but it's usually placed in column 1.
Ask your healthcare provider for a referral to a dietitian in your community. In the meantime, you can get started by thinking about how much carb to aim for at each of your meals and any snacks that you may eat. In general, women need about 45 to 60 grams of carb per meal and 15 grams of carb per snack. Men usually need more carb, so a starting goal is 60 to 75 grams of carb per meal and 15 to 30 grams of carb per snack. If you prefer, you can use carb servings instead of grams.
A Intermountain Healthcare answered. If you have diabetes and you're counting carbohydrates (carbs), keep these guidelines in mind: 1  Women need about 3 to 4 carb servings per meal (or split between a meal and a snack).  Men need about 4 to 5 carb servings per meal (or meal and snack).
