[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1513449, member: 256617"] I will never go back to "regular" carbs (potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, milk chocolate) per se, but I have maybe once a month had sweet potatoes baked chips (around 6), I re-introduced half a pink grapefruit yesterday with no ill effects on my fbg. I get my carbs from nuts, berries and vegetables - I know technically this is more than enough. You might find that you get a small increase on your HbA1c if you introduce more carbs, as you would likely use slow release ones which would keep your average higher for longer (and keep your insulin higher for longer to cover). Your numbers are consistently good, so I would suggest keep doing what you are doing. [/QUOTE]
