[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1658135, member: 6467"] Sounds as though you aren't coping well with the toast and sandwiches. I know we bang on a lot about carbohydrates on this forum but I think I would struggle if I had toast for breakfast and then sandwiches. What else do you eat? Have you tried reducing the carbohydrates and substituting protein and fat? Plenty of advice on here if you fancy giving that a try. What you are describing sounds quite like insulin resistance (or your pancreas not producing enough insulin - sometimes hard to tell the difference). That is, your blood glucose goes up a long way before it starts to come down again. This could well make you feel shaky if you are running unusually high blood glucose levels. Yes, this could be a delay in the glucose getting to your muscles. Go and see your doctor as soon as possible to sort out what exactly is going on. There are plenty of options to improve things once diet and exercise are no longer working. Although I suspect that you may be able to help a bit if you make a few dietary changes. If you want some opinions, you could always post an average day of food, and an average day of exercise. Do you have any other issues, any non-diabetic medication, weight or mobility problems? It does sound as though you have had a good run for your money over the last 10 years :) [/QUOTE]
