headaches

Headaches can be caused by dehydration.

If the carbs are pushing your sugar levels up (which they often do to us with diabetes), then that can cause the body to become dehydrated to some extent, and therefore could cause a headache this way.

Your HbA1c in your profile says 11.7% which is high and so high sugar levels as a result of carbs could be causing the issue.

There are plenty of other reasons why headaches may occur though and it's not always easy to work out why they're occurring.

Are you able to do blood glucose tests Dawn?

Some people can get headaches after eating carbs, even non-diabetics. My daughter can get really throbbing headaches.

Alaska's right about dehydration. How much water do you drink a day?

With dehydration you can get other symptons like very dry mouth, light headedness, weakness, and dark urine.

If you're getting them after eating carbs, you could be reacting to a certain type of carb or food.
