[QUOTE="Chris I, post: 47329, member: 13866"] Hi Trinkwasser, Thanks for your reply & the link to the low carb article. Really fascinating. I must admit to being a bit of a blood testing fanatic & can get through 8-10 test strips a day. From my own experiences I have found that a higher carb intake at breakfast & sometimes lunch give me good control throughout the working day with plently of energy & good concentration. I work in a busy hospital & things can be fairly hectic most days. However, if I was sitting in a meeting all day I'd lower the carb rather than raise the insulin. As my wife & I eat quite late, I've found that higher carb at that time isn't required, unless we have a busy evening planned & can affect morning glucose levels. Plenty of low carb veg. & a reasonalble portion of lean meat is the usual for the evening meal. I suppose that being brought up with diabetes, carb & insulin balancing has become second nature. I don't folow any strong does & don'ts with diet. Regular testing before & after food is certainly the key. However, I have noticed much better weight control with the lower carb & insulin evening routine. It's taken me 36 years to start talking openly about my diabetes & I'd just like to say that this website & forum has been a real eye opener. Thanks to you all. Chris I. [/QUOTE]
