[QUOTE="Norfnife, post: 1176605, member: 283154"] Thanks, [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] , for the reply. I used to eat three times a day but found that either my sugars were too high or I was having to take far too much Bolus to counteract the rise so I was going hypo too often. It is for this reason alone that I decided to cut right back on carb-laden meals, my reasoning being less carbs means less insulin so less hypos plus the added benefit of fewer highs too! Also, the problem with eating a lunch and then less carbs at dinner is that I will still be hungry as every thing on the planet contains carbs, so this would just mean a much smaller dinner snd I don't eat much as it is anyway. I am not convinced that my insulins are the correct ones for me and am currently 'in discussion' with my doctor in the hope I can try others which may work better for me, but in the meantime, I feel as though I am starving to death! It won't be the diabetes which kills me, it will be starvation or malnutrition at this rate! I am actually beginning to think that even my cutlery may contain carbs which is why my sugars are still so erratic... I actually haven't noticed my sugars going particulary high after eating some chicken, but this may just be because I tend to eat some mid-afternoon so the next blood test I do is before dinner and this changes on a daily basis with no rhyme or reason. I am really tearing my hair out trying to find a diet which works for me, but every thing I try just seems to fail, so any help is much appreciated! I really cannot cope with yet more complications with my health.... [/QUOTE]
