[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2309695, member: 506169"] Hi Hatpacker, Although Carbohydrates in excess of what your body can tolerate is the main reason for high BGL in a Type 2 diabetic, there are lots of other things which can spike BGLs including: 1. Stress 2. Lack of Sleep 3. Other medications such as statins and Steroids 4. Infections 5. Injury If you are cutting carbs then that seems like a very large amount of insulin you are taking. It puzzles me as to why you mention often eating 'vegan friendly' when you say you like meat. It is much harder to go l9ow carb on and still get your protein and nutrients on a vegan way of eating and so unless you are trying to cut out meat for ethical reasons I don't see why you would want to make it harder for you to be healthy. Note that those extraordinarily healthy 100+ yr olds in Japan are not vegan - they eat a heck of a lot of fish (and some also eat meat). Even many of the 7th Day Adventists in Loma Linda eat meat once per week (they still call themselves vegan if they do so). Why would you stop the medications when your BGL is high? - The whole point of them is to reduce the BGL in the short term (with the longer term effect of making your insulin resistance worse, your weight higher and you pancreas more worn out in the longer term). We all know that long term it makes no sense to give increasing doses of Insulin a T2 diabetic, just as it makes no sense in the long term to use medications which wring as much Insulin as possible out of the pancreas until it fails and effectively puts them in the same state as a Type 1 of having no natural insulin production.
