@m188213 hi, and welcome to Connect.
I think you really to get those answers from your doctor or dietician. I was diagnosed with diabetes about 10 years ago. I was told I could have up to 45 grams of carbohydrates per meal, and two snacks daily of about 15 grams each. I know a number of people with diabetes though for whom these numbers have varied. As @retiredteacher mentioned, it really depends on many factors. I do see a endocrinologist but my PCP could also handle it if I preferred him.
Regarding sodium, I don’t recall that being a restriction for diabetes but I believe the recommended maximum is 2000 mg. I keep mine to 1500 mg because more than that I retain fluid. Sodium can also contribute to high blood pressure and I want to avoid that. I am borderline now so hoping to prevent it from getting higher and having to take medication for it.
If you follow your doctor’s guidelines you will hopefully be able to avoid becoming diabetic.
Please feel free to ask any questions you have, either Carol or I will be glad to try to answer them.
JK
