Type 1 - Daily carbs

[ktbubble]

Evening all, just wondering how many carbs you eat on an average day?

 

[donnellysdogs]

As a T1 I vary I'm cuurently between 32 and 60 carbs..
Been lower carb for majority of my T1 30+ years.

Hiya I average between 50 and 100 a day, it's easier to eat less carbs as less spikes, but I do make a golden rule of avoiding quick acting carbs unless having a hypo, so avoiding sugar, white pasta, bread, cakes etc

 

[TorqPenderloin]

As little as 15-20g to as much as 500g+. However, most days I'm somewhere around 35-60g.

 

[Gaztheoldpunk]

About 60ish... try and keep it brown/slow release, tho I do find belvita breakfast biscuits are good for hypos.. gets the blood sugars up without spiking!!

 

[noblehead]

180g of carbs, sometimes a little less sometimes a little more.

 

[philchap1]

22 for breakfast, 24 for lunch, 30 to 40 for evening meal.

 

[Diakat]

130g for me.

 

[robert72]

[himtoo]

Really interesting to see all your ranges. Thanks for responding. I'm hovering around 90g. I find I'm eating a banana before cardio workouts. As I hypo if not . Trail and error I guess.

 

[donnellysdogs]

I also count protein/fat to bolus for as well.....

 

[Blackers183]

135 per day. Cut out 20gms a day when I finished work end of last year.

 

[LucySW]

30 to 50 per day.

 

[Wurst]

I strictly low carb'd < 30 grams per day for 3 years.Nowadays I only low carb for meals i.e. for breakfast ~ 6g , lunch ~12 g and dinner ~12 g but then for supper I eat whatever I want :-0

 

[tim2000s]

Typically 30g-80g per day for me although the meter reads a lot more as I tell it about the protein I'm going to eat and the only way to do that is as carbs.

 

[ewelina]

On a typical day around 100g, but occasionally I have a carb feast

 

[pinewood]

Typically 100g ... but I also indulge in a carb feast every so often!

 

[DunePlodder]

Typically 100gm - 150gm.
