[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1607889, member: 355878"] Hello Benjo. I think part of the problem is how you are perceiving low carb - it isn't no carb, and nor is it a choice between none and something really high carb like bread rice and potatoes. There are lots of foods which are medium to low carbs and which most diabetics can eat - as you are not in the diabetic range then you might have more freedom in what you eat, but the heavy carbs are like the big kid on the seesaw kicking off the ground and slamming the other end down hard, then gravity drops him down, but he's ready again to kick off - and until the carbs are under control you'll be up and down just like that. Take a look at just how many carbs you are eating - you can look up the values on line, get the percentage, then weigh the food. If you use grams for weighing then you know what the carb value per 100 grams is and you can calculate what you are eating and when. If you then use your meter and note down how a meal affects you then it night be obvious what it is that causes problems - you might need to check before eating then every half hour afterwards - but only until you begin to see a pattern - hopefully. Try to have medium to low carb foods so you can eat quite a bit of it, and not feel deprived. [/QUOTE]
