[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2454779, member: 451727"] Hi there, all I would say is that even using insulin doesn't 'control' the carbs that are eaten to any great degree of accuracy and we at least can alter the amount of insulin at any given time...I wish it did.....Most of us find we have to look at the carbs we consume in conjunction with the medication and accept that medication has its limits and any control we wish to establish comes also from the type of food we eat, more so in many cases. Your beans on toast for example. A few days before diagnosis, (when I was found to have levels in the mid 20s) I had to wait a weekend before going back to the GPs to see another Dr. I decided to eat beans on wholemeal bread, a staple meal for me at that time, especially when at work, nice and easy to do. Well.....that meal has been the only meal that shot me up to 'hi' on my meter meaning it was above 30. Since then I have experimented with various higher carb meals and for some reason, that one, EVERY time sends my levels rocketing. [/QUOTE]
