My husband is a big guy so they told him he should have at least 100 grams of carbs a day, but he switched to whole grains instead of simple sugars. I think that made a lot of difference. And he was probably eating 200+ grams before! No wonder his a1c was high. But I think he also just ate less. Losing weight is easier for a big guy.

Our counselor told him that many small "meals" were actually better for keeping blood sugar stable. Maybe the consistency thing is to have one pattern or another--not graze one day, have a huge meal the next, combine the two the next, etc.

Good luck, again!
