[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2171033, member: 365308"] Sent you a hug because this sounds like the worst luck. It sounds as if you have a great life with lots of purpose, love and support but as you say nobody gets it other than us lot with diabetes! Hope you will get the test results done but I guess for now you are on insulin and will be acting as if you are type 1/1.5! I would echo the points about GI foods; contrary to what we are often told re 'healthy wholegrains'! The only way is to test 2-3 hours after a meal and see what spikes you but it most likely will be bred, pasta, rice, potatoes whether white or wholegrain variety. All the carbs eventually turns into glucose in your blood and the larger the meal time quantities then the bigger the potential error when calculating an insulin dose. Personally I try to avoid eating any more than 30g carbs and often much less because I find once I have spiked my sugar it is hard to correct although a walk in the snow would be a great way to do this! I hope you have plenty of strips to test or even a continuous monitoring device at least for this period of steep learning. You have no more weight to lose so you will need to ensure you eat plenty of fat and protein Good luck with this time of adjusting and keep looking out for the bright spots! [/QUOTE]
