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.

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...

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 <95 and 1 hour after meals is <130. Hope this helps!

My doctor recommend 15-30 g for breakfast, 15-30 for lunch, 30-45 for dinner, and 0-15 for snacks.
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.
Fasting sugar is to be below 90, and under 120 an hour after meals.
Good luck!

Thanks everyone! 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.
