[QUOTE="Alternative Diabetic, post: 2040590, member: 171532"] I agree every Diabetic is different ... Spiking for me was anything up to HI..I am classed as a brittle diabetic..I was put on high doses of insulin when first diagnosed 27 years ago and made to eat carbs ...even though i knew my ratios of carbs to insulin my stomach dumped (Gastroparesis) my sugar was difficult to control, and insulin missed my food hence Hypo most days too !!! 20 years later going on a pump with CGM (Freestyle libre) helped to reduce my insulin requirements but I still spiked even with the help of metformin !! Its only now when i changed my diet completely reducing Carbs (Which I never thought i could do) have i got far better control hence why for me Carbs made me spike ..So I have ditched Wheat, refined Sugars Diet drinks and turned to a part plant based diet and organic foods. Im on 17 units of insulin a day from 48 units when first diagnosed and hardly spike ...I agree though no diabetic is the same ..but Endroconologists treat us like a book with one rule ..I went to a pump training session with a big Drugs company ..When we had lunch i was shocked to see how many diabetics had desserts full of sugar their attitude being just give more insulin....
