Message: <blockquote data-quote="Juicyj" data-source="post: 1782818" data-attributes="member: 53162">Hello [USER=472609]@Little Fonzy[/USER] Speaking from personal experience I struggled with eating carbs, like you when i was diagnosed my levels were high/low all the time and I found I was riding a roller coaster each day, I also became quite depressed from the yo yo effect and from being diagnosed, I found that when I ate less carbs that my glucose levels stabilised and it was easier to stay balanced throughout the day, less insulin is less margin for error also.  I still eat carbs but smaller amounts, however I also pre-bolus by up to 20 minutes to counter the rise and also bolus for protein which turns to glucose so will also cause a rise.  It's not the same for everyone, when I did DAFNE most of the men on the course ate a moderate to large amount of carbs and had good results, but it wasn't the same for me, each of us are different and it's finding what works best for you.</blockquote>
