Hello everyone. I have learned a lot from you all here on this forum. Thanks to those of you so willing take time to share your knowledge with us newbie diabetics.
I was diagnosed 15 months ago at age 58. I took Metformin and Glimipiride for six months, during which time I gained 20 pounds. Nine months ago I went on a low-carb diet, had to stop the meds to avoid hypoglycemia, and have lost the extra weight. I now eat five to ten grams of carbs per meal and my blood sugar runs around 95 two hours after meals. I never cheat. Enough preliminaries - now my question:
Sometimes, on special occasions such as a wedding, I would really like to have fruit, a dessert, or a mixed drink. Is there something I could take on the spot to enable me to eat a high-carb food (on a one-time basis) without running up my sugar? Please don't tell me to eat just a bite - that doesn't answer my question.
