[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1612663, member: 94045"] Everyone above is right. We all have different levels of carb tolerance, so it is a matter of finding yours. Testing before and 2 hours after first bite and looking at the rise from before to after will help. If you see a rise of more than 2mmol/l there were too many carbs in that meal. Initially, whilst learning, it is FAR more important to concentrate on keeping any rise under 2mmol/l and preferably less. What the actual levels are at this stage isn't as important. Keeping a food diary with all the ingredients and portion sizes, and recording the levels (rise) alongside will help, and enable you to look for patterns and discover what your personal danger foods are - so you can reduce portion size or eliminate. I started at 120g and worked my way down from there. [/QUOTE]
