[QUOTE="azure, post: 777117, member: 39639"] Thanks, Jess! :) Yes, that's VERY helpful. I think I remember you saying you limited carbs, but I didn't realise how low carb you are. I've read Bernstein's book a few years ago, so I'll have to revisit it. My spikes are usually after my evening meal, and I have to have my highest insulin to carb ratio for that. It's frustrating to get highs, especially in the evening as you have less time to sort them out. Your baby was a perfect size :) Congratulations again - not only on your baby but on managing your diabetes so well during pregnancy. It certainly isn't easy! I think my diet is quite carby, partly for convenience. I always have carbs for my snacks, and each meal has carbs in too, although I do weigh and limit them a bit. I try to make healthy carb choices, but, having struggled with morning sickness earlier in pregnancy, I got into the habit of extra carbs to settle my stomach eg I became addicted to mashed potato! Thanks again for your very helpful answer :) Anyone else eating low carb - or the total opposite and eating loads of carbs? [/QUOTE]
