[QUOTE="catalpa55, post: 240069, member: 40419"] I'm trying to cut back my carb intake in an effort to improve my BG control (Type 1). I've found in the past that this really helps. However, the advice from my hospital clinic is based that given by the Institute of Medicine, which apparently recommends at least 130g per day, based on the 'average amount of glucose utilised by the brain'. I'm trying to have 30g for breakfast and 20g for each of lunch and dinner, plus milk in tea and coffee, so obviously that doesn't quite fit those recommendations!! Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. What is the minimum amount of carbohydrate we should have daily in order to be healthy? I need to protect what's left of my brain after several decades of diabetes! Many thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
