What is daily limit for sugar grams in kids?

Answer 1

The maximum recommended is not really defined. The FDA recommends 300 grams of carbohydrates for a 2000 calorie diet, but not all of that should be sugar. Instead of worrying about grams of sugar, concern yourself with where those grams are coming from- are the calories from nutritious fruit, or is it instead from corn syrup, powdered sugar, cane juice, granulated sugar, enriched wheat flour or some other processed sugar source? You can safely eliminate all processed sugar from your diet, replacing these calories instead with fruit.

Answer 2

This is highly dependent on which type of Diabetes you have (Type 1 or Type 2). For example, I am a Type 1 Diabetic and my dietician has advised me to eat no less than 60 grams of carbs each for 3 meals a day, plus 15 grams of carbs for snacks (each) between breakfast/lunch, lunch/dinner and dinner/bedtime. I take insulin injections and must maintain a rigorous eating schedule. If you are Type 2 on the other hand, you will be advised to eat many fewer carbs (especially simple sugars) each day. You may be limited to no sweets (like candy, soda, baked goods, chips, etc) except for a few times per week. Your carb intake should be much lower at every meal and at snack time; but only your dietician or doctor can help you determine the right amount for your persoanl situation. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE KNOWLEGE AND POWER OF A GOOD DIETICIAN OR ENDOCRINOLIGST! They can help you determine a very specific plan of action for controlling your diabetes.
