How am I to know how many carbs I am allowed in a day

The ONLY way to know is to test your BG before and 1 hour after eating. that will tell you what carbs do to your BG.  Every one is different what you can eat is not the same as what I can eat.

Everyone is different.  Sometimes a simple diet modification is suffice.  Me, I'm a carb-o-holic.  What I've found that works wonders for me is intermittent fasting.  It allows me to eat some of my forbidden favorites without impacting my BG levels.  There is a ton of information on intermittent fasting on the internet.  The program was suggested by my wifes endocrinologist and I've never had better BG levels.  its difficult at first but does become easier.

Here is some information from MedHelp.org and the Sugar Sense app on carbs. It gives a good starting amount for you to try, as recommended by the ADA.

You can find this by going to the menu in the upper left corner of the home screen, choosing Health Guide, and exploring the Eat Right section.

If you would like to follow me I eat low carb I eat 30 carbs a day bc I had JD and my dad died at 53 from complication to diabetes so if I eat 30 or less carbs a day my A1C is 5.3 when I eat carbs it's about a 8 so that's my happy number.
