[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2610159, member: 401801"] Yikes. I can see why you're concerned. Lower carb, does that leave wriggle room for actual [I]low[/I] carb? (Mind you, with glic in the mix you could hypo, so test a lot!). See whether there's anything to be gained in lowering your carbs significantly, just please be careful you don't face-plant with a hypo while you're at it. I've rarely seen a diabetes nurse concerned about anything, really... It's not their body and they're used to people having their blood sugars spinning out of control, it's par for the course. "Diabetes is a progressive condition", after all, and it's a "whelp, nuttin' to be done about it" attitude... Which is completely wrong. You have more power and input in your own health than that! You have to live in that body for quite a while yet, better take care of it. ;) [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] Might help, but yeah... You can take this bull by the horns. Just please, test plenty as long as your meds aren't adjusted to a new status quo. Jo [/QUOTE]
