@ling123 I totally agree with your view on sugar and white carbs. I too tend towards higher blood sugar levels (pre-diabetic) even when I do not eat sugar and very rarely eat white carbs and also limit fruits. I've found an Ayurvedic herb called Gymna Sylvestre taken daily brings my sugar levels down very well. I think we need to do all we can to stay as healthy as possible.

@ling123 and @alleycatkate, I too am borderline diabetic, slightly above the high sugar mark. I had gestational diabetes as well. I have always had a hard time with carbs and sugar in my diet. I was the weird kid who wouldn't eat her own birthday cake because it made me feel bad. My lungs would fill up with phlegm every time I would eat stuff like that. We are a funny bunch aren't we?
@ling123 ...Ooops...mispelled that herb in case you are interested....Gymnema Sylvestre. Sorry.

@alleycatkate I'm also pre-diabetic. After going on the low carb diet, my A1C number went from slightly above the borderline to slightly below it. But it is plateaued after that. My doctor told me that she felt that my blood sugar might have always been on the higher end of the normal range and I just wasn't aware of it until my diagnosis. So this may be the best I can hope for. That's OK with me as long as I can keep it from creeping up. So far so good.
