Guest guest Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Ali, I monitor my sugar as well.. I think for those on a low carb diet, the body is not used to the carbs and it would take 2-3 days for the body to start digesting carbs... that's why you would see a spike when you start eating carbs all of sudden.. >>>> as for some reason my ability to cope with carbs seems to have gradually worsened since being on the diet although I would have expected it to improve. I don't know if that is part of the healing process or not, or whether it is due to the higher level of fats floating around. I have come across other Diabetics who have said the same thing the longer they have been low-carb, but I still haven't yet figured out why. Ali.

However if you have insulin impairment like most people today, and particularly diabetics and your body still hasn't corrected it, your blood sugar will spike up when you eat higher carbs.
