How many carbohydrates should a person with diabetes consume on a daily basis? The experts say that 45-60% of your calories should be from carbs. If a person consumes 1800 calories per day, that's 225g of carbs per day. They also say there is no magic number of carbs a person should consume and that appetite and hunger should play a role. 

This is insanity and a recipe for disaster. I believe a person should keep their carbs between twenty and fifty grams per day. 

Here are a few things you could do:
• Reduce your carbs (less than 50g per day)
• Stop snacking 
• Intermittent fasting (consume two meals a day)
• Increase healthy fats 
• Stop consuming so-called “healthy carbs” (fruit, whole grains, brown rice) 
• Consume Himalayan sea salt 
• Avoid omega-6 fatty acids 
• Increase omega-3 fatty acids
