Rider, once you realize that "carbohydrate" is just another name for "sugar", you'll understand why you are having trouble controlling your BGs.

There is no such thing as a carb that won't raise blood sugar, because it is sugar. Perhaps packaged differently, but it doesn't matter. The packaging for carbs is easily torn into, and the contents, the simple sugars, released.

Did you ever do an experiment as a child, where you took a couple bites of a soda cracker, and chewed it until it started to taste sweet in your mouth? That was the packaging, the chemical bonds of the carbs, being broken down before you even swallowed those carbs.

Drop the number of carbs that you take in, and replace them with healthy proteins and fats (NOT vegetable oils, but actual fat) and you'll start the process of controlling your BGs.
