[QUOTE="Stallen, post: 1102272, member: 223641"] I don't set a number for my daily carbs, I choose foods that are mostly 4g per 100g but I do eat a small amount of higher carb fruits blended with green veg. Most meals it would be under 10g of carbs and a fruit green smoothie 20g carbs. Interestingly I just found a letter earlier this evening from Dec 2014 from a specialist diabetes dietician I saw, it had an action plan recommending 50g of carbs at meal times and 20g at snack times and no skipping meals A few lines From the report, we discussed how dietary advice is not to adjust eating habits to optimise blood glucose control, but to continue to eat well with regular carbohydrate intake, the letter goes on to say that a low carbohydrate diet is unlikely to be sustainable in the long term leading to an increased risk of nutritional deficiencies. I obviously followed the advice, for awhile which lead to a number of problems, weight gain and more medication including being offered insulin as an option, as others have said eat to the meter find your level of safe carbs, despite my dieticians views I think it is sustainable long term if you find your right level of intake.
