Hi all, I know everyone is different but I'm interested in what effect approximately 30g of carbs would have on different people with type two DM. I know there are lots of variables but people must have a general idea what that amount of carbs would do to their blood sugars. I also understand that all carbs are not equal, so when answering the question base your response on carbs you know will have a negative effect on your blood sugars. For example two slices of whole meal toast, approx 30g of carbs will spike my BS. I know the toast will take my blood sugars from a normal pre meal 5.5 reading up to 11.6 a difference of 6.1 I also know that I won't return to my pre meal reading for at least 4 hours, indicating to me that 30g of carbs (wholemeal toast) is a dangerous amount of carbs for me to eat at one meal.
