How many Grams of Carbs should someone with type 2 diabetes, or gestational diabetes intake a day?
Shan asked:
I am waiting for my second round of blood work to come back with the results as to whether or not i have gestational diabetes. My OB said she is pretty sure it will come back positive so while im waiting for the final results i want to make sure im not ingesting to many carbs. What is the suggested intake of carbs for someone with gestational diabetes and/or Type 2 diabetes?

Any low carb diet is helpful to be healthy.

Doctors all want us on as few carbs as possible. BUT, remember, you aren’t the only one to worry about. For something this important, get with your OB and let her (or a dietition) set your diet up. Until you can get in to see one or the other, just stay away from pasta, white bread, potatoes, sugar and white flour.
Good luck to you.
