I have to keep my carbs low also Bonnie or else I gain. Luckily I keep my BS low too without meds.
Now DH is another story, he knows what to do because of me but carbs call his name. Not a lot and nothing like SAD but here and there, a serving of rice (not at home) a few crackers with chii (again not in our house) a piece of corn bread, tacos from Taco Cabana. So he had to double his Metformin to 2 per day. Are yours 500mg? I hope that's not a high dose or he's going to end up on insulin..
