Message: <blockquote data-quote="KateS14" data-source="post: 2497748" data-attributes="member: 547730">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?</blockquote>
