Sure it is, but it mustn't be easy!"
Nyadach replied to LAB's discussion 'How many carbs do you eat in a day?'"Anything from 120-200g on a normal day (but I do calorie count those as well). Although on a ride I can nail a further 200-260g. I can't work out really how it's possible to only eat 20g or so a day? love to know though :)"
Buckley83 replied to LAB's discussion 'How many carbs do you eat in a day?'"Do you not struggle with low energy on only 25 grams a day, I would love to get my carbs down that low."
Trev replied to LAB's discussion 'How many carbs do you eat in a day?'"20-30 per day. I find it a slippery slope for me when I eat more, as I tend to crave more and over eat."
Buckley83 replied to LAB's discussion 'How many carbs do you eat in a day?'"I usually get about between 50g-120g depending on activity levels. I am 95kg and about 14% body fat.
I also get 250g of protein a day.. Lots of lean meat, nuts, fish..
I was working out two hours a day, doing intense interval training on about 80g…"
Sean Jelosek replied to LAB's discussion 'How many carbs do you eat in a day?'"I follow the same kind of diet. Works very well and I feel amazing when I can actually stick to it. Small "cheats" screw me up a ton on this diet."
Sam Iam replied to LAB's discussion 'How many carbs do you eat in a day?'"I eat 25-40g / day. Previously ~300-500. Haven't raised fat or protein intake substantially. I dropped a little over 10lbs over 1.5 years."

Zoe replied to LAB's discussion 'How many carbs do you eat in a day?'"So how come our "diabetes twinship" didn't extend to the carb/weight relationship too, Maurie? Geeesh."
still_young_at_heart replied to LAB's discussion 'How many carbs do you eat in a day?'"I eat about 45-70 carbs per meal with daily totals of around 160 carbs when I don't skip lunch. The relationship of total carbs to a healthy weight isn't straight forward for T1. I'm lucky and careful and can eat more carbs than most…"
"I eat around 100g per day. Some days less like 80g, some days more like 120g. My weight is just holding steady right now, not losing and not gaining. But I also haven't been exercising much since the start of the new year, so I think once I…"

It's interesting how at times you just know what the person at the other end might like.
Most of all....I'm so happy you found us. I don't know how long you've had diabetes for, but I sure wish I would have had tudiabetes as an oasis when I was dx.
Snoop around at your leisure...and do not hesitate to ask questions wherever you go :)
luv....linda
