Macro partitioning

In Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes, a higher percentage of total energy intake from carbohydrates (>60%) is positively correlated with elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, suggesting that limiting carbohydrate intake to below 60% of total energy may improve glycemic control.

If you have type 2 diabetes, aim to keep your carbohydrate intake to less than 60% of your total daily energy. This study of Japanese patients found that eating more than 60% of your calories from carbohydrates was linked to higher blood sugar levels (HbA1c), even when total calories were controlled. You don't need to eliminate carbs, but avoiding excessive amounts may help you manage your blood sugar better.
