My dietician does say that carbs are necessary. For me though, starches are
the things I best digest and when I am digesting, my BG will be lower. I do
have to be careful not to eat too many carbs though.

My worst and most consistent numbers came about when I attempted low
carbing. My blood sugar remained around 300-320 all of the time. It was
only after I wised up and add some carbs back into my diet that my numbers
dropped.

Remember, there are over 300 variants to diabetes. One meal plan does not
fit all.
