[QUOTE="AliB, post: 90543, member: 16907"] Absolutely. Although I have had issues with carbs for many years it wasn't until my digestion finally collapsed that I realised that wheat/gluten was a major problem and adopted a gluten-free diet. Eating gluten-free carbs didn't help because they are typically more carb-dense even than ordinary wheat products. It was only by really reigning in my carbs that I have been able to get a lot more control of both my BSs and my digestion. I still have a way to go but it is a lot better. I tried going without insulin, but have had to go back to 1 x 12 - 14 units per day to keep things low enough and 2 x 1 Metformin morning and evening. How I wish I could drop the lot. I try not to have anything that will spike the sugars so that not only will it not rise too much but I won't get hypos either. [/QUOTE]
