How many carbs should a diabetic eat in a meal?
My doctor said I need to watch my carb intake since I'm diabetic. I'm finding it hard to figure out how many carbs I should have at each meal. Can anyone help me understand this better?

While keeping carbs to 40g per meal is a standard rule, your safe limit depends on your health condition. Please get a proper blood sugar test done and consult your doctor to find your exact carb limit.

My uncle aims for around 45g of carbs per meal, which basically means having just two small rotis. It sounds hard at first but it's super easy to manage once you get a routine going.

Stick to roughly 40 grams of carbs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is a very practical and realistic way to keep your blood sugar stable without spending hours tracking your food.

I was researching this for a family member and most credible health sources suggest staying between 30g and 45g of carbs per meal. It seems like a very balanced way to manage sugar.

I keep my child's meals to around 45g of carbs because he is growing and active. I make sure those carbs come from nutritious foods like daliya, lentils, and lots of fresh green vegetables.
