I think it is great that you have some a wonderful nurse- you have struck gold.I am on less than 30 grams of carbs a day but I am only on metformin. You have to work out what works for you- there is a wide variety on here as you have already seen. If you lower it to 30 grams a meal that will almost certainly be lower than you were eating before. You don't need to apologise to anyone here- we all have to choose our own path. Some go  carnivore- less than 10 grams of carbs a day. Some like me go keto- usually under 20 or 30 grams a day others go low. carb which is under 130 grams a day. Some don't go that low but are able to keep their levels okay. Some decided to take mediation- there is no wrong or right answer. Ultimately it is your life and your body. My only strong recommendation is that you should take steps to keep your blood sugar levels under control. There are significant possible consequences for too high levels.Whichever way you decide to approach it there are many here to help, support and advise. You have got a great start with your nurse so that is good.</blockquote>
