[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 196404, member: 17199"] Hi, These headaches may be because your BG's are high, a common symptom. Unfortunately of course you don't know because your unable to test, so i hope you get your meter and strips soon then you can test to see how your meals are affecting you to see how many carbohydrates you can tolerate while keeping your BG's at a good level. My advice would be in the meantime is to keep the amount of carbs your eating to a minumum, drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated which may also help your headaches. Someone may correct me if i'm wrong but i think boiled potatoes take longer to digest than mashed potato so the release of glucose from those will take longer so won't raise your BG's as fast, which is why you may have noticed these symptoms in mashed potato. Good luck for when you get your meter and strips, you seem to be taking this very well and seriously which is brilliant :) [/QUOTE]
