[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1928823, member: 41816"] Hi again :) I think you need to be testing your blood glucose, before eating, at its highest, and then at its lowest. The menu plan you describe would definitely not suit me at all. It has FAR more carbs than works for me. The toast [B][I]might[/I][/B] be OK if eaten with peanut butter and butter, because that slows down the carb absorption. The pasty, the fruit and the potatoes definitely wouldn’t be. My blood glucose would be swinging about link a rollercoaster, I would feel rough, and I would get stabbing pains in my feet. (I get stabbing pains in my feet if I eat too many carbs for a week or so e.g. on holiday. Once I stop eating too many carbs, it then takes another week for the stabbing pains to subside again. I assume it is neuropathy. And I know that keeping my blood glucose low and steady stops the pain and prevents it from progressing.) From what you describe, I would not be blaming your neuropathy on the hypos. I would be blaming it on the repeated daily highs and lows of your blood glucose caused by 3 or more portions of starchy or sweet carbs a day. [/QUOTE]
