My carbs are mostly coming from things like nuts, broccoli, zucchini, spinach, lettuce, and occasionally a small amount of raw carrot, raw beat or cooked sweet potato. I don't know how much more I can cut back and still be eating anything other than meat, fish, and eggs. However, I think you may have a different thing going on from me, as when I exercise 30 min after eating it also drives my glucose up higher. Kesun, unfortunately I am unlikely to get tested for anything unless/until my sugars get much worse. I tried to get GAD testing (b/c LADA seemed likely) but with no luck. It was a big deal just to get a script for metformin because I'm thin and was able to bring the sugars into sort-of-control with a pretty hardcore LCHF diet (although the effectiveness of that waned somewhat over time). However, I will take your advice to test individual foods. I have done some of that and it's how I figured out I could tolerate 12 bites of sweet potato, although then I lost that after some months (although metformin may have brought that tolerance back?). I have a lot of food allergies, and maybe there are some weird sensitivities that I'm not aware of that are pushing things up? I dunno; I guess it's worth a try.</blockquote>
