[QUOTE="Starburst02, post: 1471315, member: 364746"] Thanks for your comments. I have done more research, and learned I must keep carbs to a minimum if I want to hopefully limit weight gain. My situation is complicated by the fact I must take Creon (pancreatic enzymes) with meals. Creon contains a significant amount of amylase, which helps digest and converts carbs to glucose. The speed of the conversion is accelerated when insulin is added. My blood sugar quickly spikes following meals containing even small amounts of carbs now, and that results in weight gain. It will be a challenge for me to further reduce carbs, but I will try since it appears to be the only option. Thanks again for your help. [/QUOTE]
