[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2360936, member: 451727"] Hi Usman, what is your normal day food wise? I know this is an extreme way to put it but when you use insulin (I know you don't), then it's not a question of thinking about carbs in terms of how many are in 100g of food. For example if I choose to eat chocolate at 15carbs per 100g, then feel greedy and have a 1000g bar, then I would have consumed 150 carbs all at once which would be a LOT for me and would require a LOT more insulin right then. The principle is the same for non insulin type 2s, the more carbs consumed overall would require more of their insulin to be produced and if it can't 'get through' or be utilised properly, up go the glucose levels.
