[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 295751, member: 45322"] After posting a similar question on here a few weeks ago and hearing the advice from other posters I decided to go low-carb. I tried it for a few weeks, but it didn't work as well as I'd hoped. I was finding that despite eating very few carbs, my sugar levels were going high (presumably because my body was metabolising fat and protein into glucose) and I found it difficult to predict what my levels were going to be. However it did teach me that I ate too much carbohydrate, so I'm now on a lowish carb diet (about 100 grams per day) paying particular attention the glycemic load and that has made a big improvement to my sugar levels. I don't get so many peaks and no longer have to snack between meals to stop my going hypo. So if you're scared of going on the low carb diet, instead look into a low glycemic load diet. [/QUOTE]
