How many carbs should a diabetic consume?

I always weigh my food because even a little extra rice can cause a spike. For me, 120 grams of total carbs per day works, but you must find your own limit by testing regularly. Don't take general food advice too lightly.

It is so exhausting to constantly worry about every bite of food you take. I totally understand how stressful this is. Just start slow by aiming for 130g of carbs a day, and don't blame yourself if there are some high-sugar days.

I see this question a lot here. A simple and practical rule is to aim for 130 grams daily, spread across three small meals. Focus on fiber-rich grains like oats and daliya instead of white rice or refined flour.

My teenage son has to manage his sugar, so we keep his carbs at around 150g because he is growing and active. I make sure those carbs come from fresh apples, lentils, and multigrain rotis rather than packaged snacks.

I keep my carbs under 120g a day. I stopped eating white rice altogether and switched to brown rice or quinoa. It was hard for the first two weeks, but now my energy levels are super stable.

Usually, around 130 to 140 grams of carbs a day is considered safe for diabetics. I hope you find a routine that feels comfortable and healthy for you.

I ignored my rising sugar levels for two years thinking a low-carb diet would fix it, and ended up with nerve complications. Please don't self-manage; go get a proper HbA1c test and let a doctor decide your exact carb limit.

If you ask five different uncles, you will get five different carb limits! Stick to around 130g daily and save yourself the family drama. Just avoid those sweet rasgullas and you'll be perfectly fine!

I am very new to all this and still trying to understand. If I need to limit my carbs, does it mean I have to stop eating potatoes and rice completely? Can someone suggest some basic daily meals?

If you are physically active, you can easily consume 140-150g of carbs daily. Just make sure they are complex carbs and that you do some strength training to help your body process the glucose efficiently.

I was researching this for my dad and found that most international guidelines suggest around 135 grams of carbs daily. It seems quite manageable if you just replace normal sugar with healthier alternatives.
