[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1668930, member: 429870"] Depends who you ask. Diabetes.co.uk offers this: [SIZE=5][B]"What counts as low-carb?[/B][/SIZE] Low-carb is a flexible way of eating that allows you as an individual to choose a level of carbohydrate that works well for your diabetes and lifestyle. A research study in 2008 [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/references.html#7'][7][/URL] used the following brackets to categorise daily carbohydrate intake: [LIST] [*][B]Moderate carbohydrate:[/B] 130 to 225g of carbs [*][B]Low carbohydrate:[/B] under 130g of carbs [*][B]Very-low carbohydrate:[/B] under 30g of carbs [/LIST] Generally speaking, the lower your carbohydrate intake, the more likely you are to lose weight and the lower sugar levels you are likely to have. It’s important you choose a level of carbohydrate that works well for you. For example, people with type 1 diabetes that do not need to low weight may wish to aim for a low or moderate carbohydrate intake. Someone with type 2 diabetes, or needs to lose weight, may wish to aim for a very-low carbohydrate ([URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/keto/']ketogenic[/URL]) intake." You can check out the article here: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet/low-carb-diabetes-diet.html[/URL] Dr Bernstein advises 30 grammes carb daily. I have the impression that many people here have set themselves goals of under 100 / under 50 / or even under 20. Many people, myself included, have found themselves GRADUALLY going lower and lower. There's no rush - we are in this for life. [/QUOTE]
