Hi everybody,
This question is for diabetic 2 who are on Insulin.
Is 30gram carb per meal is too much for even Insulin users?
If so, then how much carb  per meal is OK?
                          Thanks

Thanks for your answers.
I am a 20 years + diabetic 2, but I have not used insulin yet
I had leg pains, aka neuropathic complication, now no longer .
As long as my A1C is less than 5.6% and my glucose level is controlled at <140mg/dl at  ,ALL TIMES, then my leg pains disappears

Hello,

is 30 g of carb too much / meal?  This is very individual.

This very much depends on what that 30 g of carb does to your blood sugars.  IF you are high at 2 hours after eating that 30 g of carb, despite appropriate insulin dose, then it may be too much for you.

If your blood sugars are on target (< 120 at 2 hours), then it may be fine.  

If you are on target at 2 hours, but later go too low it could also be a sign that these carbs are too much for you.  

The very strict low carbers use 6 g of carb for breakfast, 12 for lunch and 12 for dinner.  This carb comes mostly from non-starchy veges and dairy like cheese.

What insulins do you use?

I am not on insulin though I am diabetic.  I think 30 g of carb is good.
I hope someone will answer you who is on insulin
Good luck
