when I went to the Dietician for diabetes ...she told me to be on 45 carbs per meal and 15 for night time snack.....I am not on a diet for weight just for diabetes.......I take no meds as i have time to improve my readings with diet. I was having a hard time with my pasta withdrawals......but am doing better.....I did find that when I ate my one cup of pasta and half cup of sauce I did test high in bS testing.....
