[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1411027, member: 355878"] you might actually benefit from more carbs - just a few. I'm an oddity as I was doing low carb long long long before being diagnosed with diabetes, and I could lose weight happily on 80 gm of carbs a day - also unusual. I find that I have higher BG if I don't eat my carbs spread out through the day - until mid afternoon when it nosedives. Trying out various strategies and checking BG will guide your choices, as we are all different and have different lifestyles. Dr Atkins advised adding just 5 gm of salad per day if you go wobbly - I had to add 50gm before the wobbles stopped - but they reduced a bit with 5, so I knew it was the right way to go. I got improving BG levels eating the same amount of carbs every day, low carb enough to stay under 8mmol/l after meals but not so low it was difficult to do every single day. [/QUOTE]
