A member asked:
Can you let me know how many grams of sugar and carbs should i be intaking with type 2 diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: The answers are variable depending upon your height, weight, activity level, etc. There is no value in having sugar in your diet, although small amounts occur naturally in all your foods and can't cause much problems. See a good registered dietitian to calculate specific dietary parameters for you.
