[QUOTE="Bewildered, post: 984034, member: 176371"] Thank you for this, I had a quick read through. I stopped the gliclizide in March and only took it fow a very short time. I think I referred to be scared of carbs because I am worried that I need more carbs to prevent the low blood glucose but I am scared that increasing carbs will make the diabetes worse. From the list of causes, I have an under active thyroid, being treated and feels okay at the moment. I had nausea, but that was a side effect of medication now worn off. And for years before I was diagnosed type 2, I have had shakes, nausea etc when going for too long between meals, but not noticed this after a 'carb binge'. So, if I have understood you correctly, are you suggesting that the carbs I eat lead to an overproduction of insulin, so if I up my intake then the frequency of low levels may increase? Gosh, the more I learn the more I realise I don't know! [/QUOTE]
