How many carbs should a diabetic eat a day and how many grams of sugar a day should a diabetic eat pls hlp?

it depends on you. it depends on your body weight and the type of diabetic. Use low carb bread and carbs that will burn slowly in your digestive system for example instead of white potatoes which cause a spike in your blood sugar and therfore more problems for your body as far as insulin to deal with choose yams or sweet potatoes they have more fiber, burn more slowly and keep you full longer. try to stay away from white bread which has a lot of sugar instead try whole grains or the best try rye which is low in calorie and burns slowly these foods have a low glycemic index. i generally go for less than 10 grams of sugar in a cookie for example and 45 carbs for example in a lunch or snack. if you monitor your blood sugar 2 hours after a meal you will have an indication of if that food i good for you generally speaking a spike of more that 3o or 40 points may mean you had to many carbs. remember all foods have carbs so watch your portions the more you eat the more carbs the higher your blood sugar. you may want to eat 5-6 smaller meals per day for example I eat half of what i want to eat in one sitting but 2-3 hours later i might finish that meal or eat a snack. its difficult because all they say is eat healthy if you have insurance see if you are eligible for a diabeties educator or a nutriionist. good luck
