How Many Carbohydrates Can A Diabetic Take Per Day?
Question: How many carbohydrates can a type 2 diabetic eat per day?
Hello and welcome to XXXXXXX
Thank you for writing to us.
The amount of carbohydrates to be taken varies from person-to-person. Which is why an individualized diet regimen is advised to each diabetic.
But the American Diabetic Association(ADA) recommends an intake of 135-180 grams of carbohydrates in a day(i.e. 45-60 grams per meal). This number could be greater or lesser depending on the individual. I would recommend you to schedule an appointment with your doctor for an individualized diet regimen.
I hope you found my response helpful and informative. Do write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you or you could rate my answer after closing this discussion.
Take care.
