Hi and welcome sounds like you have made a good start .The amount of carbs the nurse said is just a general guide but many diabetics do not eat that many a day so find the level that suits you and stick to that. Many here go very low others not so low for some just cutting out the starchy carbs like bread, rice, pasta, potatoes and high sugar stuff is enough. Some here do not like eating a lot of saturated fat they can't tolerate it or are vegans and vegetarians which is fine as fat can be found in the good oils like olive oil, olives, nuts, eggs and avocados. There are no rules on how many carbs we should have because we are all different as to what we can eat and we all have different levels of carbs a day
