[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1678443, member: 94045"] 100g carbs a day is fine for some people, but not for most. We all have different tolerance levels. There are a lot more than 100g in that list you gave. The best way to judge what is OK for you is to use your meter to guide you. Test immediately before you eat. Test again 2 hours after first bite. Look at the rise from before to after. If it is more than 36mg/dl (2mmol/l) there are too many carbs in the meal. If you also keep a food diary including portion sizes and record your levels alongside you will soon find out which foods are causing you harm and it will give you the chance to reduce the portion sizes of the carbs or eliminate some completely. This is called eating to your meter and works for the majority of us. [/QUOTE]
