∙ 15y agoMy personal experience: I'm required to eat 60 grams of carbs at 3 meals per day, plus 2 snacks (between breakfast/lunch and lunch/dinner) of 15 carbs each. That's 210 grams of carbs per day. Of course, this all depends on what you have agreed upon with your dietician and family doc or endocrinoligist. If you don't get regular exercise, your carb intake should be less. It also depends on your recommended insulin regimen. I have found that these numbers work great for me, except on days I don't get exercise (yes, exercise really does play a huge role!).

How much is six units of insulin for a diabetic?
It depends on the type of insulin and also the diabetic. It varies greatly on long acting insulin and short acting insulin. For short acting insulin you need to find out the insulin to carbohydrate ratio for a diabetic first. Using a sliding scale you need to determine the blood sugar of the diabetic and also how many carbohydrates they have ingested. Whether or not it is a Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic will also affect the outcome. For an average sized adult with type 1 diabetes, they would need to consume approximately 60-85 grams of carbohydrates, but again it depends on the individual greatly.
