- It varies from person to person. Some diabetics can have very few carbs while others appear to be safe with more. You cannot afford to take chances. You need to determine how many carbohydrates are safe for you by testing your blood sugar, with your glucometer, one hour after each meal and then again two hours after the meal.
- You may or may not be on insulin, but it you are your carb to insulin ratio is how many carbs you eat with how many units you inject. My carb to insulin ratio is 15:1 so if I eat 60 carbs (I have Diabetes type 1) I will give myself 4 units of insulin.
- On the other hand, some people with type 2 diabetics (they are not all on insulin) cannot have much more than 20 to 25 in a day yet others can have far more. You need to test it out for you, as a unique individual, by measuring your blood sugar with your glocometer one hour after, and then two hours after, eating.

∙ 15y agoBest person to answer this would be a diabetic educator with a specialty in diets. Mine gave me the following, up to 30 grams of carbs per snack, 2 snacks per day and up to 45 grams of carbs per meal, 3 meals per day. I generally keep my snack carbs at about 1/2 of this, 14 to 16 and my meals at about 30 to 40. It has been doing me well, nice weight loss, great BG measurements.

∙ 9y agoYou should eat the low carbohydrate diet, if you are diabetic. That means 30 to 50 grams per day. But then up to 200 grams of polysaccharides will not do much harm. Specially when you take these carbohydrates in divided doses.

∙ 13y agoEvery diabetic is different. So I would say start at 45 (if you are female) or 55 (if you are male) carbs per meal for three meals a day. Then it is pretty much trial and error from there, just find what works for you and your diabetes. Test frequently to make sure you are on the right track. Good luck!

∙ 13y agoEvery diabetic is different, something that works for one diabetic may not work for another. Diabetes, as I have learned, is mainly trial and error. Find what works for you and don't let others tell you what you should/shouldn't be eating. Control your diabetes, dont let it control you.

∙ 12y agoThat depends on the diabetic and in particular whether or not they use insulin. Some diabetics can tolerate far fewer carbohydrates than others can.
