[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2103776, member: 400972"] It varies from person to person. In the beginning it all about experimenting to work out how the body reacts to different levels. Did your husband get a blood sugar meter? If not he would do well to get one. He needs to test right before a meal and then 2 hours after first bite. He’s looking for a rise of no more than 2 mmol/l (and to not go above around 8 in any case). If the reading does rise by more then there were too many carbs in the meal. I started on 100g carbs per day on diagnosis, but over the first nine months I gradually reduced down to between 30- 50g/day and that’s where I stay to maintain non diabetic HbA1cs. Some type 2s can tolerate more, some need to go lower still. [/QUOTE]
