AMEN! If I were to increase my carbs, I'd not only feel crappy, my blood sugar would be way too high. There's only one main way that I know of to lower blood sugar, & that's reducing carbs. Reducing protein, increasing fat, & exercising also help. But then there are the things outside my control that will increase blood sugar: injuries, illness, emotional upsets. I'm having surgery soon & I'm not looking forward to the toll it will take on my blood sugar.
