[QUOTE="Adm_Mad, post: 2055056, member: 503757"] [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] Except counting carbs [I]isn't[/I] enough as my levels have started rising. I've accepted I can't do anything about dawn ****** phenomenon as that seems to be one of the (many) things about this disease beyond control. But eating causes a spike, this seems agreed on, so it makes sense to eat as infrequently as you can. And the fact that the only time I've been able to keep my blood glucose in the 5's this month has been when I didn't eat for over two days seems to confirm this. I know I'm starving myself, as in technically getting far fewer calories than I probably should be. But (1) I'm not really starving as I'm still overweight and have weight to lose and (2) it's seems to be a necessary evil at this point. Based on the current situation I am being as tough on myself as I can and it looks like I can eat and have higher levels, or not eat and keep them lower, I can't have both. I'm asking if other people agree this looks like the choice I have to make. :) Post edited for language. [/QUOTE]
