We're all different, with different levels of insulin resistance/sensitivity and output. Not to mention varying lifestyles, rhythms, stress factors and whatnot. So you will have to find out what works for you. One way to do that: get yourself a blood glucose meter. Test before a meal and two hours after the first bite. If your blood sugars go up 2.0 mmol/l or less, your body could cope with the amount of carbs in that meal. So you basically start with an arbitrary number like 120 grams per day total, and work your way down from there, for instance. Personally I do best on 20 grams per day or thereabouts, but that might not be true for you. You might be fine on 80 grams, or 100. No telling without a meter, really. Hang in there eh.Hugs,Jo</blockquote>
