How many carbs should you eat each day with type 2 diabetes?

The nutritional guidelines in the UK recommend eating no more than 150g of carbohydrate per day if you have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Few patients understand what that looks like practically. Therefore, in this video we are going to demonstrate how to add up your carbohydrates and how to make simple substitutions in your diet to lower your carb intake.

I have type 2 diabetes and I would suggest eating a meal and seeing how much it bring up ur blood sugar and work from there everyone body is different.

As a type 2 diabetic, I made a simple calculation that seems to work for me:

I walk 1km, 3 times per day (100 calories each) plus two 5k hikes per week (550 calories each) and go to the gym 3 times per week for weight lifting (150 calories each)

So roughly that is 3, 500 calories per week for sports or average 500 per day.
500 divided by 4 calories is 120g of carbs. Add 30 for base functions and I get 150 total carbs per day.

Along with my medication my blood sugar averages 100mg/dl throughout the day, with a fasting BG of just 90.

th ank you so much. I am 90 years old and your info really is most helpful.

I'm T-2 and my triglycerides are over 900 so I'm shooting for 20 gr. carb per day. I'm also going to start giving blood periodically to reduce it, along with my A1c.

150 g C per day!!!! Wow! I eat 25 g in a meal and my numbers immediately skyrocket!!!!

Thanks for the great information 👍 how many carbs would you recommend for me, I work in a warehouse do between 8, 500 to 12, 000 steps a day, some heavy lifting and go to the gym three days a week, surely I need more than 195 grams of carbs?😀

You're saying about 150g carbs/day AND counting vegetables? 🤯

[SheilaTrueLove]

Can you just get to the point and give a NUMBER?

[philais]

It just seems to me that no one would think that they could help an alcoholic manage alcoholism by encouraging him to continue to drink alcohol, just not as much. Same with diabetes, continue to eat the thing that caused diabetes (carbohdrytes) just not as much... how about just stop drinking alcohol, stop eating carbohydrates. Zero. Worked for me and both are in remission. I don't count carbs or calories and I don't count drinks. An easy way to live. Oh, and I lost 40lbs and I'm 66.

So basically were F'd. T2D here and don't know how ANYONE eats like this day in and day out. Im trying hard to watch my carb intake but im not going to torture myself.

[Tattooclownfish]

Should be ashamed of them selfs charging for help with type 2 diabetes so sad the greed humans have makes me sick 🤢

[aheckingoodboi]

have you considered looking at a high carb, low fat diet for diabetes? Instead of trying to manage diabetes, type 2 diabetes is cured following this approach.
