I have no idea why. I seem to be okay with carrots, beetroot and horseradish.  My only thought is that we are all different and by experiment and keeping a daily log of  blood sugar testing can help you to understand what foods you can tolerate and what foods you cant.  I am glad to say I love all vegetables. Red wine is okay for me but beer isn't.  I set my target to under 7 mmo/l by bedtime and achieve this figure most of the time. In the past 4 months I haven't  hit 7 mmo/l once.  As I said, keep an eye on your blood sugars by testing regularly and make notes of what you have eaten when they are high. When they go below 3.5 I make a note of what I did to increase levels before bed and take note of what my fasting numbers next morning are and adjust for next time if necessary.  Try not to eat too late into the evening.</p></blockquote><p></p>
