[QUOTE="Mick1952, post: 1733180, member: 237917"] Sarah, I share your love of carby things, but have managed to get to normal HBa1c, without meds, just by being selective and reducing portion sizes. I cut out added sugar drinks totally, and try to be sensible with meal planning. If I have bread in a meal, or chips, or pasta, or rice, I keep the total carbs down to around 100 g, any more spikes me bad, then the other meals of the day I try to avoid carbs as much as possible. We are all different, but that works for me. Like you, I started on Metformin at diagnosis, but after spending 2 weeks in the bathroom, realised it wasn't going to be the answer. It doesn't work for everyone on here, but if you really struggle to go carb free, just remember, a LITTLE of what you like might be acceptable. I know that I can't eat carbs 3 times a day, that looks to be your failing. Good luck, keep trying, you'll get there....
