Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Resurgam" data-source="post: 1502243" data-attributes="member: 355878">I'm thinking that your doctor is happier prescribing tablets than giving advice on your problem.You are eating carbohydrates, heavily starchy sugary foods and then taking a tablet to try to negate the effect, and then eating more to reverse the tablets. You end up in a ping pong situation rather than getting things balanced again.Many people on the forum have little need to medicate as they eat low carb foods, so their blood glucose isn't pushed higher than they can cope with. Over time there is recovery of normal readings and although we might never be able to cope with continuous heavy carb foods again we do not run the risks of a roller-coaster of high and low readings.If you do decide to alter your diet you will need to be very very careful, as you are medicated to cope with a shedload of carbs and could have very low, dangerously low blood glucose as a result. You really need to have contact with your doctor or a nurse if they have authority to change your medication, and just hope that they are in favour of low carb eating.</blockquote>
