Hey there! I don't think you need to limit yourself to a certain amount of carbs per day. I would recommend trying a high protein and high fiber diet. Also try meal planning. Having a plan will ensure that you aren't going overboard on carbs, and knowing how many carbs you'll have for each meal will help you plan your bolus more correctly.
Everybody is different in how many carbs they can eat. The only way to tell is to get a BG meter and test... test before you eat count the carbs you eat and test 1 hour, 2 hours after you eat. your BG should not go over 140.
We do know carbohydrates raise BG ALL carbs... rice,pasta,wheat,potato, and most fruit contain large amounts of carbs. so test to see what you can eat.
Trying to figure out How many carbs & sugars should you have? Can someone give me some insight?
I personally eat a Ketogenic diet of 20g or less net carbs a day. Most of my diet comes from meat, cheese and non-starchy vegetables. The high levels of fat in my diet help keep me satiated and promotes weight loss. I also tend to avoid artificial sweeteners as much as possible. I eat gluten free and grain free.
s been moments where I thought I got rid of the yeast but then years later it returned, possibly due to many things (too much coffee, carbs, stress, etc.). Ive recently had to drastically change my diet. I'm now eating a carnivore/keto like diet. The overgrowth of bacteria eats starch so I literally cannot eat any starch (no carbs, fruit and even certain vegetables).
Carbs raise BG so restricting carbs will help BG.
when you say 6 units I assume you mean 6 exchanges which is 90 gr of carbs. If you take 250 mg at each meal that is 750 mg a day, the limit is 2400mg a day so you have room to go up on the Met.
It can take 6 to 8 weeks for met to become fully effective.
Congratulations on your weight loss. That's quite an accomplishment, especially, if you're keeping it off.
We all know that it's best to avoid refined (simple) carbs, but those are a big downfall for many of us. Diets like that Atkins Diet don't provide enough carbs and is one that most people can't stick with. I see you did it for 6 months - I don't think I could stay with it that long.
m looking to find out where i can obtain a listing of foods to avoid and foods to eat....all i find is diet plans, how many grams of what is in it etc... all i really want is for her to have a list of the foods she can have without fearing her sugar will go up, snacks she can have or not have etc...at her age its hard for her to figure out calories, grams, exchange groups and all that...
Type 2 diabetics must pay careful attention to the amount of carbs eaten. Consider carbs as an equal to table sugar. On nutrition labels carb sugars are listed in grams. Every 7 grams equals one heaping Tablespoon of refined sugar.
Changing lifestyle habits can go a long way in controlling type 2 diabetes. Restrict & avoid refined sugars, practice and adhere to weight control, do some sort of exercise daily, practice stress management, and get adequate sleep.
s a relatively low protein diet and contains a fair amount of simple carbs. So how many daily carbs are you allowed? As many as your body seems to find suitable, but the majority of your food consumption for optimum health, at least as far as we know now by studying actual humans, should be carbs by far, with vegetables and fruits being the most important, but also grains, especially whole grains.
Is there any specific diet for diabetic patients? There are many articles online but confusing for which to follow. Some say fruits are bad, others say they are healthy, for example, bananas. Are there certain vitamins or supplements to take or any natural change of eating habits? It may vary from person to person but generally what should one eat to control levels of blood sugar.
