[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2480945, member: 372717"] Some vegetables (eg potatoes) contain a lot of carbs, as does some fruit, so you probably aren't on zero carbs, but it does sound pretty low. (Unfortunately the pancreas doesn't distinguish between natural and unnatural carbs.:)). Have your levels always been running that high or is this a recent thing? Long term high blood sugars can impair the pancreas' ability to produce insulin so you may just not be producing enough insulin any more..... It may be that you need more medication, at least for a while, in order to get your bgs under control. And I agree with [USER=496333]@Jim Lahey[/USER] that it would be really useful to know how much insulin you are still producing, but am not sure how willing your GP will be to do those tests. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
