[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2181344, member: 511345"] I'm another who agrees that you are eating a lot of carbs. How do you know if you are eating too many carbs? well the answer is to test- but another answer is the need for more medication. I agree that medication may be needed in the short term, but ultimately the best answer is to start with diet. The best answer is to try to reduce your carbs so that you reach a level your body can cope with. For some that may still need medication but for many it can reduce or eliminate the need for medication. If all the medication is doing is increasing your insulin, this may lead to more insulin resistance. Lower carbs does not have to lead to weight loss if that concerns you- up the protein and particularly the fats- cheese- most have low or no carbs, meat, double cream- there is a lot out there. Welcome and good luck. [/QUOTE]
