[QUOTE="ixi1429, post: 1706558, member: 465579"] I am to eat 75 g f carbs per day - 15 per meal, with a spar 15 so I can have milk in tea, snacks etc. My average since the beginning of the year is 76g but that is because it is a target and sometimes I eat a little more - birthdays, celebrations etc. and I have a few of those recently BUT anything under 130g is Low carb as that is approx less than half of the carbs we would need to eat if we were not in the diabetes club. Soem people et 20g or less. you need to do what is comfortable for you and more importantly sustainable as you need to keep this going. I started on 100 and then relaised I could go lower. Good news is that Cream and Strawbeeries is defo low carb (as long as you don't eat by the buckekful. Some people tolerate some carbs better than others and can eat pasta, rice etc (in small amounts) where others can eat fruits. As the others have said, get a meter (theres posts bout those elsewhere on this site) and measure so you know which foods you can eat and avoid. Genreal rules - I try to avoid foods with 10g of carbs per 100 but this is a general rule. For exmaples I love and eat Pickled herring which come in between 11 - 16g but they are an oily fish so are great of omega 3 etc. I can't eat weetabix (about 65-70g per 100) as this pushes up my blood glucose but others can. Foods grown above the ground tend to be lower in carbs than below. Try to stay away from exotic foods - those not grown in urope - e.g. Bananas Unfortunatley (for me) doughnuts are classified as high carb. [/QUOTE]
