Message: <blockquote data-quote="claridge" data-source="post: 338194" data-attributes="member: 15821">I low carbed as its easier to maintain BS levels - well it was ha. For the past 3 years l have eaten low carb - meat/fish/eggs/veg/salad/nuts/seeds. Basically just no bread pasta pot's rice or high sugar veg, weight unchanged in that time with lots of exercise, never had a problem till this year with the stress.Blood sugar readings - l have had a few big lows this year, but at the moment lm just getting more highs, highest l guess wou has been about 15 on waking - through the day it keeps going high when l check it ie 10 etc and constantly taking insulin but have started walking and the insulin is more effective in the day but overnight l keep waking and have to take more insulin but because l cant exercise in my sleep l seem to need double the amount. All wee specimens etc at docs have all come back fine as far as lm aware.Am a driver but l dont take insulin before l drive. Xmas day and treated myself to half a bottle or so of champers lovely, but nowl itchy all over and starting to get shaky and l know alcohol is not good if any ketones in system so downing water! Nutrition wise am so confused now. Carb wise today l had a couple of oat buscuits and 2 half slices of bread - should l be eating more?I test quite a lot at the moment l would probably say up to 10 times in the day and overnight if l cant sleep l check it.</blockquote>
