This is helpful. Not looking forward to counting carbs again, but I'm trying to have a better attitude about it all this go round. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-carb-amounts#post-2549353 Sun, 15 May 2016 21:20:49 +0000 pinkcupcake 2549353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor recommend 15-30 g for breakfast, 15-30 for lunch, 30-45 for dinner, and 0-15 for snacks. </p> <p>I aim for 15 at breakfast, usually 15-30 at lunch, and i have a hard time not eating the full 45 at dinner. Snacks I try to keep 1 at 15 and the other at 0. </p> <p>Fasting sugar is to be below 90, and under 120 an hour after meals. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-carb-amounts#post-2549350 Sun, 15 May 2016 21:15:29 +0000 DisneyBee 2549350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a PA-C (physican assistant) at an endocrinology office, and I recommend my GD patients to eat less than 40 grams of carbs per meal and 15 grams of carbs per snack. Fasting blood sugar goal is &lt;95 and 1 hour after meals is &lt;130. Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-carb-amounts#post-2549317 Sun, 15 May 2016 19:57:20 +0000 tinyperson 2549317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 carb = 15 grams </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-carb-amounts#post-2549314 Sun, 15 May 2016 19:54:30 +0000 Happygal 2549314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: do you remember grams amounts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-carb-amounts#post-2549310 Sun, 15 May 2016 19:43:45 +0000 tinyperson 2549310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was to start off aiming for 2-3 for breakfast, lunch and dinner and 1-2 for snacks, and see what my numbers were like. I went down to 1-2 for breakfast eventually... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-carb-amounts#post-2549303 Sun, 15 May 2016 19:34:53 +0000 Happygal 2549303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My GD is back, but first appt to see an endocrinologist isn't for a few more weeks. I can't remember my carb guidelines, and the Internet isn't helping me out! I know they can differ, but I'm hoping I can get an idea of what to do. </p>
