[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1721275, member: 429870"] I theorise that in my case the main problem is that I make only a very small amount of insulin, so that by the end of the day, and often long before there is none left to cope with any carbs I eat. This means that I can see a low reading fasting and after breakfast, unlike the many people who are more carb resistant during the hours after waking, but higher readings in the evening even though I have eaten very few carbs, when I presume I have used up all my supply. So the fact that an individual food doesn't spike me doesn't let me off the hook, I have above all to look at total carbs per day. And yes, I am left with very little variety of food to eat. In an ideal world I would at least be on basal insulin, but that is out of the question, I did very well to persuade my GP to prescribe Metformin for me. [/QUOTE]
