I can occasionally go over 100, but my typical day is much more likely
to be in the 50-70 range. And, if I go over, it's at lunch or dinner,
never at breakfast.

I usually don't go over 50 per day.

For me it varies. I have two meals of up to 45 g, never over that. One
afternoon snack of about 6 g and a bedtime snack of 15-30 g, unless my BG is
really too high and then I won't have that much.

No i havent tested yet but im going to get what i need to do that this
week--this forum has done me more help than i can tell you--i have felt
i was battleing the world----no throyid---not able to exercise-and knew
i have been eating healther and still no change i was getting angry-

Thanks so much all your information-- has given me a place to
start-------which is what i thought i had--till i seen my weight not
moving--such a wonderful group.

I use Net_Carbs = Total_Carbs - Fiber - Alcohol_Sugars

I keep my intake to appx 60g/day.

Eat Low Carb foods (incl. EatRite frozen dinners), salads (especially
lunch at work), etc.

This as prescribed by my doctor for my Type-1 Diabetes. I was
presently surprised at loosing 20lbs in the first 2 weeks (several
years ago) on this type of diet.

I have found out that the *amount* of food consumed per meal is just
as important as what you eat. Even a low carb diet can lead to high
BS if you eat too much, which is as expected. In other words, just
because it's low carb food, does not mean you can pig-out.

WOW! Mine's 50-70.

This is why testing is so important. 160 MIGHT be OK for you, or it
might be 2-3 times what you should be eating.

Mine averages 160/day. Sometimes more on special occasions and sometimes
less.

Based on my current med's (4 Metformin a day and 2 shots of slow release
Novolin N Insulin) I could NEVER eat 160g of carbs in a day... I'd be
pushing 300 if I did. A HUGE day for me would be 100g, and even at that I
would be pushing it. My typical day would be 75 or less, and that keeps my
numbers were they should. My last a1c was 5.9
