Sounds like your body really doesn't like carbs. Try cutting them out and replacing with protein and healthy fats (ie those from meat and dairy and olive oil) instead

I had a feeling that was the case. You do not have to follow the advice of your DN. I think most of us don't because of the problem you are having. The alternative advice, which others have mentioned, is to drop the carbs.
for me, If I followed the advice from my diabetic nurse, I would be on insulin and have uncontrolled diabetes. I have not seen a diabetic nurse for 10 years, no point. Still diet controlled,. Must be doing something right, This forum is fab for advice.
