Sue, I'm not sure whether this might work for you, but it does help me a lot: I've been on a low carb diet for over a year now to level out blood sugars, and though I lost 13 kilo's (which was too much for me) I've been doing much better blood sugar-wise. Just thought to let you know! Oh and I def can't cheat, my body will pick it up immediately and starts off giving me real lows (like 2,4 ie)
