i just got better control of my blood sugar numbers recently
and since then im scared to eat
and im not feeling well not eating much
low carb controls my blood sugar numbers
but i cant tolerate meats or milk products
so that leaves mostly carbby foods
which never controls my numbers
is my choice to
eat meat and milk products and live in my bathroom and have good blood sugar numbers?
or
eat carbby processed foods and use loads of insulin never having good numbers?
(ive already been thru the whole thing of testing foods--
carb foods does not work for my numbers and me)
whats left to eat?

Hi there, I see you're on insulin? Would you mind telling us a typical days diet and your current glucose levels & hb1ac?, sorry I sound like a Consultant but it might give us an idea of what to suggest. x

one meal (mostly because thats all i can afford)
coffee with heavy cream 2 or 3 splendas in it
blood sugar 4 to 11 when i get up
nothing but water until i eat
which would be meat or eggs
but having troubles lately with the meats
or maybe have leftovers from the family which is hi carb food
blood sugars in the afternoon until i eat
are from 5 to 7
after the meal blood sugar is 5 to 8
after a family meal 5 to 12
i use 500 mg metformin at night started 4 weeks ago
.25 of ozempic 4 weeks ago
80 units lantus at night(down from 120 units)
rapid insulin with carbby meals (sometimes for alot of meat at a meal)
at a ratio of 1 unit insulin to 3 grams of carbs(and half this for just a a meat meal)
bedtime blood sugars 4 to 8
during the night blood sugars 4 to 6
my recent a1c was 6.6
and my numbers stayed in the 11s all the time
for a few months and i just got them back better
in the last month since beginning the metformin and ozempic
but
with the low carb foods giving me issues now i need to change a diet
thats been helping keep my numbers down
(no fruit very rarely grains very rarely processed foods no cans no boxes )
and since i first posted this thread its been slowly going back up
with the foods ive been having to eat

Sounds like there are allergy problems. An assessment at an allergy clinic should help identify exactly what they are. They may be able to desensitise you too, enabling consumption of foods that give the best blood glucose control.
