@kim2023 : I think 120g carbs a day is not unreasonable, but as diabetics we need to find just how many our bodies will happily tolerate, so my advice for you is to use a glucose meter to test immediately before each meal and again 2 hours after this to see how various different foods (and amounts) might affect
your glucose levels, and try to adjust your diet accordingly. But also be aware that other issues (such as health, pain, stress, some medications, exercise, etc) can also have an adverse effect on them, and for me these generally have a greater impact than my food tends to - unless I end up scoffing too many carbs.
Since my initial T2 diagnosis at the end of 2013. I've eaten a low carb full fat/ketogenic style diet and prefer to eat a maximum of, but sometimes much less than, 50g carbs a day. I've set this limit as it keeps
my glucose at low pre diabetic levels. while allowing me the choice of a whole variety of low carb foods. I don't really have a "usual day" but have between 1 and 3 meals, though generally I don't eat breakfast, and occasionally I'll skip all 3. My meals consist of a wide range of protein and full fat food, and (where possible) in season suitably low carb vegetables, fruit, and nuts. I've not needed any diabetic medication since 2017, though I do take some for non-diabetic issues.
