[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2503763, member: 355878"] Yes everyone's blood glucose goes up after eating - just as when anyone drives off in a car the speedometer shows their velocity - but some of us reach the speed limit and go no faster, others overdo the accelerator and are heading towards points and loss of licence. Basically, getting a cheap to use glucose meter and checking just before starting to eat and then 2 hours later will indicate how well you are controlling your blood glucose, stopping or cutting back on carbohydrate foods and adding the essential protein and fat to help maintain our metabolism and body. The overloaded stash where glucose is stored gradually depletes, systems unclog things run better all round and when a blood test is called for the nurse or doctor stares at it in disbelief - assuming, of course, that it is all due to ordinary type two diabetes and nothing more interesting and exciting in its working. Even then, low carb can help. I was diagnosed almost 5 and 1/2 years ago now and am in remission. I eat twice a day, very simply. I eat at 12 hour intervals as in the mornings my blood glucose goes on rising until I eat. My meter showed me that was happening, and then that it wasn't if I ate a small amount of carbohydrate - I often have meat with mushrooms, and a little stir fry in the cold mornings, or some salad. I have coffee with cream. Twelve hours later I have another meal with a bit more carbs - 40 gm of carbs in a day is my usual maximum. I do have to keep rather low, as I have never been able to eat many carbs without gaining weight really quickly. [/QUOTE]
