Carb Intake

Is there a simple way to calculate the number of carbs I need each day? I am a 57 y.o. male who weighs 235 lbs. I am 6'1" and am somewhat sedentary. Thanks!

easy !
the carbs you need to eat are ....  That which will allow your BG to stay in your target area.          (with exercise)        if you cant or dont want to restrict your carbs sufficient to control your BG then you need to increase the drugs you take to control your BG.

I eat about 50gr of carbs a day and that is with insulin.
