I'm looking for suggestions for general macronutrient ratios to help control type 2 diabetes. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

    My doctors recommended 40% carbs, 25% protein and 35% fat. However, I am also supposed to get this same balance at each meal - I'm not allowed to "bank" my carbs for a huge bowl of ice cream :-)

    I just looked and I set mine to 35% because it was as close as I could get it to 100g of carbs a day.
    As I wore a sensor a lot in the early days, I have a far better understanding of my carb tolerance, I know I can extend to 125g ON OCCASION but more usually I come in around 80g or below in a day.
