[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1417598, member: 355878"] Your dad is eating high carb foods - low sugar isn't going to help, cutting out the densely carbohydrate foods will lower his blood glucose, and he can then try various foods to see how much of them he can tolerate - some people can manage porridge oats, and some find double digit levels. People do find that they are able to cope with some carbs better later in the day as their insulin resistance lowers. As your dad is taking Glicliside if he eats very low carb as I did to get non diabetic readings, he will probably go too low, but he could lower his blood glucose by cutting down and checking his readings frequently rather than getting double digit blood glucose.
