I second this I stick to around 100g of carbs spaced out throughout the day with some snacks 15g. Though I use the 100g of carbs like a bank. E.g. A short term spike is not going to kill me so If I save the 100g for a very bad meal its ok as its only going to have risen once that day. Or...

Its even worse when Ian then in the next scene says hes eating fruit and breads like common if you are going to scare people do not push them to fruit. It does scare me retinopathy though I have read 95% of it can be treated and even more so the statistics where 50% of people have some form...

Not good depression just remember people here care
