[QUOTE="Maggie75, post: 2692471, member: 532798"] Hi everyone, I'm T2, currently on a low carb diet along with Alogliptin, due next HBA1C next month. I just have a question about salad foods, in particular carrots. Are they really high in carbs? The reason I ask is that for dinner last night I had 2 burgers (without bun) with some mozzarella cheese on them and a large salad. I've had this exact dinner the last 2 weeks, tested my blood 2 hours after meal and it was 6.5, last night however I had a pre-prepared salad which contained carrots and a little full fat salad dressing, checked the carbs on that and they were very low for the amount I used, when I tested last night my blood sugar had gone up to 8.3, quite a difference which I have to admit freaked me out a bit. Could it have been the carrots or am I heading back to having to take a stronger medication to keep things under control? Thanks for any advice on this. Maggie [/QUOTE]
