[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 752338, member: 140811"] I don't think there's any golden rules KK. You have to decide what's right for you and match your insulin (are you T1?) to your intake. I know 2 people who just carry on eating as though non diabetic and inject a lot of insulin to compensate. I don't know where it comes from but there is a 'reference' figure of 260g per day for normal carb intake. This means an average person is probably eating about 70g 3 times a day with a bit left over for snacks. I have no idea where I was before diagnosis but since I started counting I'm down to about 180g and feel I got there with relative ease. According to this website that puts me in the 'moderate' intake category at the moment. For me, simply cutting sugar out of tea and coffee made a massive difference to the stability of my bg readings. I continue to look for opportunities to make reductions without going dow the whole LCHF route. So there's no reason to get upset, just start by looking at your intake now and then begin with small changes and see if it works for YOU. [/QUOTE]
