[QUOTE="initforlove, post: 345810, member: 52870"] it is sort of individual I am sticking to about 20 grams a day but some can have more than that some people find that to start with they need to be very low in carbs and as their control of blood glucose improves they can have more carbs i highly recommend that you try the very low carb approach. I have never thought I could get from 12.5 blood glucose to 4.8 in 4 months but I am sure that if I can then so can you it is sort of easy - all you have to do when you cook for the family, you have the proteins [meat, chicken,fish,eggs,cheese] and some of the non-starchy veggies and omit the potato, legumes, bread, noodles and rice I have found that broccoli seems to be very good for my blood glucose levels so for lunch I have a little steamed broccoli and celery and then melt a slice of cheese over that... YUM! I steam it with a little water on a frypan and when the water all evaporates I put the cheese on the vegies and close the lid and within a few minutes the cheese is melted enough but has not started coating the bottom of the frypan where it would be difficult to clean up afterwards. so as soon as it melts a little I scoop it onto a plate and mix through the veggies once it is on the plate. I never mix the cheese through on the frypan. good luck [/QUOTE]
