[QUOTE="vintageutopia, post: 1002277, member: 167332"] I eat between 20-25 net carbs daily, but still need to eat to my meter. There are just some foods that cause me to spike, even though they are within my daily carb limit. I still test when I try a new food or if I am feeling off. I expect it will always be that way, as I want to know what is going on with my body. That said, for the first four months after my diagnosis, I ate around 100 grams/daily and took Metformin AND Bydureon (injectable hypoglycemic). During that time, I experienced more significant highs and lows than I have while taking Metformin ONLY and eating <25 net carbs per day. It is possible to have lows, as our bodies are unique, however I would attribute it to the shift in diet and a prescribed hypoglycemic for the blood sugars I was having initially. Once the hypoglycemic is adjusted (or eliminated, if possible), I believe a person will experience minimal to no hypos. [/QUOTE]
