Hi Gemini

I've been a type 1 diabetic for over 30 years - and currently on 4-6 injections a day. GD is a weird thing from my readings and knowledge of others that have gone through it.

Your pancreas is still creating your insulin needs but your body isn't using it properly. Sometimes it works just fine - probably explains the chips - and other days it doesn't, hence the sandwich. I know other diabetics who can eat the same thing 2 days in a row, yet get completely different BSLs from it

There are a myriad of things controlling BSL's, most are not really understood as to how... food, insulin and exercise are only some of them

Don't stress too much. As Ambah pointed out, your raised reading would be considered "normal" for most diabetics - 4-8 is doing just fine in our books


And LowGI doesn't mean low sugar... it means it takes a while for the body to take up the sugar in the food. Versus HighGI where it's all taken up very quickly


Hope you are feeling better today !
