I don't actually weigh the carbs, I just keep the quantities down. For
example, 2 baby new potatoes with my main meal or a piece of fruit.
I have been reading Richard Bernstein and he allows his patients 42 grams 
or
so available carbohydrate a day and bans things like carrots and tomatoes 
as
well as the obvious potatoes and parsnips. I'm not prepared to give up
carrots and fruit and I prefer yellow bell peppers to any other colour.
I use vegetables and fibre to feel full, but I no longer really need that
feeling. Calorie free fizzy drinks are good too. I'm rarely hungry. I was
yesterday, so I checked my blood sugar it was down to 68.5.5, which is 
below
even Bernstein's ideal of 85 and my own target of under 125 at any time. 
So
I had a rice cake with half-fat butter and marmite. The rice cake has about
8 gm of carbohydrate. I haven't translated to imperial measures.
