[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 416187, member: 21149"] Hi. Do reduce your carbs and have low-GI ones where you can to. Spread those carbs thru the day to smooth uptake. I would tend to ignore the fact that your blood sugar fluctuates with lower carbs; give it time. Yes, you are having too many carbs which would explain your higher blood sugar and weight. I'm not saying you are over-eating but with T2 you just have to reduce carbs as necessary to maintain blood sugar within range and also you may need to increase meds as needed. As others have said, beware snacks. Go for nuts, berries etc and don't let biscuits into the house. Yes, look for total carbs on the labels. If you Google the web for low-GI carbs you will find many sites listing 'good' low-GI carbs; obviously keeping the daily carb total below, say, 150gm/day initially. BTW steroids can play havoc with blood sugar so be aware of that. [/QUOTE]
