According to your age n weight u should have total of 240-260 carbohydrates. Being a diabetic u should have only complex carbohydrates not simple. Simple carbohydrates include sugar ,hoNey and jaggery. no juices as they contain simple sugars, nosyurps no jams and jellies. No fruit with more sugars like mango,banana, chiku,pineapple. Have more fibre like sprouts, salads, fruits, channa murmura to control sugar levels.
