I think this is one of those things where you really need to ask your doctor or a dietician directly. They can assess your specific situation, your meds, and activity level.

Mere ghar pe bhi diabetes hai, bahut mushkil hota hai decide karna. Humne try kiya brown rice, millets, sab kuch. It's not just quantity, also the type of carb. Complex carbs are always better than simple ones, even in small portions.
