[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2593940, member: 480869"] Honestly it’s a piece of string. Some type 2 cope with more carbs than others to maintain non diabetic levels without medication (Remission). Testing blood as described above helps enormously to establish your tolerance to foods and at least some counting for a short while will tell you the number of carbs that is. For a long time I kept mine aro7nd 30-50g a day and remained in the low 40’s hba1c. Since I let that slip I’ve hit mid 50’s on what I’d estimate to average 120g but is in reality quite erratic. Type 1 have different challenges and generally aren’t trying to deal with insulin resistance, manage on diet alone and obviously need medication, although some find great benefit in lowering carbs.
