My mother was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and we're trying to adjust her diet. The nutritionist mentioned counting carbohydrates. Roughly how many grams of carbohydrates should she be aiming for per day?

I can only share what worked for me. I limited my carbohydrates to around 120-130 grams a day, mostly eating ragi, oats, and lots of green vegetables. This helped me manage my sugar levels much better without feeling weak.

Managing carbs daily is quite a task, ho na. Usually, around 130 to 150 grams of complex carbohydrates is suggested, but it differs for everyone. It is best to avoid direct sugar and white rice as much as possible.

Aiming for around 100-130 grams of healthy complex carbs works wonders. Just swap the white bread for some tasty multigrain options and you are good to go! Stay positive and keep active.

I track my meals on MyFitnessPal and keep my carbs at 40% of my total daily calories, which is about 130g. Tracking helps you realize how much hidden sugar is in packed foods. Try using a tracking app for a week.

Typically, 130 grams of carbs daily is recommended, but you should verify this with your doctor.

Since I have both thyroid and diabetic tendencies, my diet is strictly monitored. I keep my carbs around 100-120 grams daily. Please make sure you get your blood sugar and thyroid levels tested regularly to adjust your daily limits.

Keep your carbs to under 130 grams a day if you want to see a real difference in your HbA1c. Focus on high-protein and high-fiber foods to replace the heavy carb portions. Don't overcomplicate it, just eat clean.
