I was looking for a good abbreviation for "Units" myself and this discussion didn't help. when in I don't know the right abbreviation I will simply drop all the vowels except the first letter. So I would us Unts for units and crbs for carbs (even thought "carbs" is already an abbreviation, it won't fit where I wanted to use it).
