Hello!I have read/heard that during pregnancy you should eat 175 grams of carbohydrates a day.For me that figure is crazy because I have achieved good control of my diabetes by reducing carbohydrates and especially choosing carbohydrates such as legumes, cooked potatoes, vegetables and fruit.I barely eat pasta, rice, bread... and if I do eat it, it is in small quantities.
It makes me very anxious to think that in the future I would have to eat so many carbohydrates.Also, that amount of carbohydrates along with the protein and vegetables that they recommend, how much should you eat per day???It seems too much to me.
Could anyone tell me their experience regarding this?:)
Thank you so much!

Hello @Cuevast,
It is best that you talk to your endocrinologist so that they can advise you on the most recommended diet during pregnancy.
It doesn't seem reasonable to have a low-carbohydrate diet, since you need energy for both yourself and the fetus, so the amount you propose seems appropriate.
I eat about 200 grams of carbohydrates daily and it is manageable, although if you are used to low amounts, the change may seem complex, since increasing insulin doses increases the probability and severity of the error, but surely you can do it.
Let's see if any woman on the forum who has been through pregnancy can help you.
