[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2079130, member: 475901"] I had read the advice that it's under 130g to start but choose to start at 100g a day, testing showed my blood sugar went down fast but I was seeing a small rise in the morning so I cut it to 85g. I discovered that more than 30g in one meal caused a sugar spike. I also tested to check the impact of eating fruit and of eating lower carb bread, and have been very strict about the amount I eat. I know some people go much lower, that depends on you own body and how it reacts - I didn't need to go any lower but I would not have know that without frequent testing at home. [/QUOTE]
