[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2367995, member: 41816"] thanks for answering my questions :) since you are on medications to lower bg, then pls take your low carbing steadily, and monitor your bg frequently as you do so. You may well find that in future you will need to reduce your medication as the low carbing reduces your blood glucose levels. But until that point, you don’t want to be battling hypos. Thanks for your menus. The second day was much lower carb than the first, since the carrot, sweet potato and mango are all carb heavy for a low carb way of eating. But those are all things you can tweak and monitor with your glucometer, to discover the best options for you. if I were you, I would check how many carbs are in your late night baked bean snack - you will likely be horrified! :) My suggestion? Organise an alternative, and have it ready, so that you know exactly what you will eat the next time it happens. How about cheese? Or hummus, or full fat greek yog? Whatever you like, so long as you have it planned, find it appetising, and it is easy to grab. having said that, as your bgs improve and stabilise, you may well find that midnight feasts become a thing of the past.
