Wow - one week in and I feel like i've been cured.
Let me explain. All my life i've eaten whenever, whatever, with no regard for the amount of carbs I eat. I just pump myself full of Novolog and thought it was no big deal. The past year i've been feeling like my body was falling apart and I just felt over all Ill all the time, felt like my body was giving up on me. With every meal I was forced to Bolus 16-25 units of Novolog (or more) because of what I was eating.
The problem was right in front of my face, but I never noticed it. I know it makes ZERO sense. My family eats very CARB HEAVY and I have been ignorant to how bad Carbs raised my sugars.
Eating very very low carb for just this one week I feel like a brand new person! I take little insulin now (sometimes I don't even need to bolus!) and I have all of this energy! Also my sugar levels no longer spike or drop ... very level around 130-150 (i know still on the high side but my A1C is 9 and I've always lived in the 200's thinking that was normal.
I've lost a bit of weight already too!
Anyway hope this helps someone else. I know I love this feeling. Hope I can stick it out
