I'm a type 2 diabetic, and I'm a bit confused about carb counting. How many carbohydrates should I aim to eat per day as a diabetic? I want to keep my sugar levels in check.

Bro, don't stress too much about tracking every single carb gram, it will drive you crazy. Just try to limit your rice and rotis to decent portions and skip the sweets. We will figure this out, just talk to your doctor once to get a rough idea.

Don't worry, you can manage this easily with a little discipline. Most people do fine with around 120-140 grams of carbs a day, but let's not guess. I'll suggest you get your HbA1c tested first, and we can show the reports to a good doctor to make a safe plan for you.

It usually ranges between 130 to 150 grams daily, but it varies a lot. Please consult your physician to get your exact target.

I have been handling this for years. A standard daily limit is about 130-150 grams of carbs, but the real secret is spreading them out across 5 small meals instead of eating them all at once. Swap your normal wheat flour with multigrain atta, it genuinely helps stabilize the spikes.

I totally get it, trying to figure out what to eat after a diabetes diagnosis is so confusing and exhausting. Usually, the recommendation is around 130 grams daily, but please don't be too hard on yourself. Take it one day at a time and let your doctor guide your diet.
