[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1452745, member: 94045"] Glad to see it is going well. We all have different carb tolerance levels, so you need to find your own. Yours may not be the same as mine. Mine is 30g a day, none at all before lunch. You have your meter now if I remember correctly. That will tell you how many grams of carbs you can cope with. Test before and 2 hours after first bite. Look at the rise from before to after. Keep that under 2mmol/l and preferably under 1.5mmol/l. If it is higher than that there are too many carbs. Once you reach that level, you could try testing earlier, at an hour or 90 minutes after first bite. This is because the peak of our rise usually happens between an hour and 90 minutes (not always but normally) and by 2 hours you should be on your way back down. Use these results to tweak your carb portions. [/QUOTE]
