I'm new to this forum and although I was dx'd almost 12 years ago I am still learning new things. I have an appt. with my endo next week and want to check some things out with her. Although I have lost over 50 lbs. it has done little to help with my bs control and so the doc started me on Lantus last month. I've worked my way up to 22 units at night and that seems to work for my morning numbers. I have been testing before meals and after meals and the numbers before are decent ...always under 120 mostly under 110. But unless I eat virtually no carbs the 2 hour post is 40 to 60 points higher. And don't even ask me what a mug of homemade split pea soup can do. So is this going to be where she says "Humalog?" And is this where I learn what carb counting is? Until this forum I had never hear of this. The other forum I'm on all they talk about is not eating anything white but cauliflower to avoid insulin at all costs. I have a feeling my pancreas has retired and go to Barbados and I need a little more help. I feel that I am missing a lot of nutrition by cutting out almost all carbs. Any thoughts on this would be helpful. Thanks!
