[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2283200, member: 511345"] I have to agree with [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] alternating days is not going to do you any favours- you will still crave carbs, you will still be hungry but you won't see your blood sugar levels drop. It does sound dramatic but my suggestions is to try low carb for 3 weeks- every day- test your levels before meals and 2 hours afterwards and see what happens when you try low carb. I would suggest keeping under 100 grams of carbs a day and preferably well under. If your blood sugar levels go down you have your answer. Just so you know- in my view for us diabetics low carb is the best you can do but unfortunately things like stress, illness, lack of sleep and other things can also increase your blood sugar levels. For me- off all those things the easiest to control is my diet. I stick to very low carb to give my body the best chance as I am a very anxious person who doesn't sleep well. I have a stressful job in what sometimes (today for example) a very stressful atmosphere. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
