sugar level in range -- sorry it is long message but really I'm confused
First of all, the answer will be dependant whether you are type 1 or a type 2. You don't need to have a low carb diet to manage your diabetes at all, that is a myth. It could be slightly easier managing your diabetes with a low carb diet just due to the fact that your insulin risk factor will decrease, i.e. if you are taking 100 units of insulin a day and there is a risk of 10% not being calculated properly, you will end up with 10 units being misplaced, as opposed to taking only 10 units you will end up with only 1 unit being misplaced. Apart from this, there is no benefit from running a low carb (from diabetes point of view) So have higher carbs meals, and inject insulin accordingly presuming you are type 1. For myself (Khalid Keshta), I have all the bread and starch you can think of.
