[QUOTE="vintageutopia, post: 933895, member: 167332"] It would be highly unusual (or impossible for most) to be in ketosis when eating 78-100 grams of carbs. Most individuals need to eat below 50 grams and some as low as 20 grams per day. Perhaps, it would be helpful to ask yourself what your goal is...lose weight, reach ketosis, kick meds to the curb? Then, adjust your diet to meet your goal(s). If you want to eat potatoes and pudding, then maybe insulin *is* the choice for you. Either way, you can't continue to have such high blood sugars without risk of complications. If you want to only dip your toe in the water or ride the Diabetes fence, then Diabetes will give you moderate to high blood sugars and fatigue, joint pain, and brain fogginess. If you jump in to managing your Diabetes with both feet, you will be rewarded with better BS readings, improved (well, everything!) and increased energy. As my friend says "Pick your hard". Hard now or hard later? [/QUOTE]
