I've been through the mill a bit recently with my BS levels being hard to control and an infection recently leading to sepsis and serious kidney problems, and a fortnight stay in hospital - and consequently a fortnight eating high carb hospital food. The infection was probably been lurking at a low level for months before reaching noticeable and crisis point. My BS weren't TOO bad whilst in hospital despite this.
I am not taking any medication at all for the diabetes, and have finished all other drugs that the hospital prescribed for the infection.
On discharge just over a week ago I have started to very slowly reduce the amount of carbs in my diet again, but I am finding that my BS readings are very good with a much higher intake of carbs than I could tolerate before...
My question is, could this just be a blip as I readjust or could it be that clearing the infection, my weight loss since September (approx 4.5 stone/30kg) and increased excercise mean that I can now tolerate more carbs than I thought beforehand now that there's no infection skewing things?
