What is your carb loading like. Many can handle 100-130 net carbs daily. Some can only handle 50-60 net carbs daily. Some can only handle 20-30 net carbs daily.

Then there is me at 2-3 net carbs per meal.

Eat to your meter and the nondiabetic range of 4.0(72 usa) to 7.8(140 usa).

Baby steps.
Good luck.

If your sugars start to go low your liver will release sugar. Since you're diabetic your body can't handle it and your sugars go high. Try eating about 15 gm carbs with protein before bed. It may help.

Thank you. But if I have nothing to eat from 6pm at night to 8am the next day...about 15 hours with no food...why are my numbers up around 9 or 10?
