[QUOTE="Cat0409_, post: 1156813, member: 278469"] Type 2 on insulin Tried low gi fell awful on it and my BS kept climbing Unable to take any form of Metformin tho I tried and tried The only thing that works for me is low carbing. My daily BS readings have dropped in the last 11 weeks to under 6 morning and night with numbers no higher than 9 after eating. I regularly have to reduce my basal insulin units as my readings get lower. I was on 20 units and am now down to 16 and take between 2 and 4 units of bolus for meals. Both my specialist and my gp agree with my low carbing and are pleased with the positive downward trend. I feel better and have more energy. One size does not fit all! [/QUOTE]
