How many carbs are you allowed to consume a day on a diabetic diet ?

The issue with carbs for diabetics (or anyone who is trying to lose weight) is that you want to avoid carbs that cause a quick rise in your blood sugar level, which means any refined carbs, foods that contain sugars and white flour. Root vegetables, especially potatoes, should also be consumed in great moderation. Whole grains and beans, on the other hand, are broken down slowly by the body and will not have the same effect on your blood sugar levels. You need to be thinking not only about how many carbs you are eating but the source of those carbs. Carbs that are directly associated with significant amounts of fiber are the carbs you want. Fruit is okay but should not be eaten alone, but as part of a meal.

The same as a regular diet - as much as you want. The key is not what or how much CAN you have... the key is to eat a balanced diet including fats proteins and carbs. As to how many carbs you SHOULD have, your doctor/diabetic educator can help figure a good amount. It's the same for everyone...The question is not CAN I have this burger/ice cream/cigarrette/etc, it is SHOULD I have this

It all depends on the amount of calories you are allowed. The dietician will work up a balance of all the foods your body will need. Too many carbs can cause an increase in blood sugars because carbs turn to sugar if the body cannot metabolize them efficiently. Talk to your physician,who should refer you to a qualified dietician.

I eat lots of raw vegetables and minimal carbs, fats, and sugars. Blood sugar stays low that way and I can eat all I want. Plus, I get all the nutrients I need. I add a little protein here and there with some chicken or fish, but that's it. Added benefit is my weight stays down, I look good, and feel great.
'nuff said?

It depends on the number of calories in your diet. The carbohydrate in a diabetic diet is a percentage of food intake.
