While not meeting the criteria for diabetes or even pre-diabetes, I am somewhere on the spectrum with "misbehaving" blood glucose levels. Carbs cause my bg to spike too high and stay too high, but not enough to cause a high A1c result.
I don't notice an increase in discomfort with my SFN when I overdo carbs, but I've still cut back drastically. A nice side effect has been easy weight loss.
Anyway, one thing I'm experimenting with right now is taking apple cider vinegar (organic, unfiltered, unpasteurized...like Bragg's) before I part in a carb laden meal. I need to do controlled comparison, but I've heard it can reduce your bg by significant amounts. I tried it before Christmas brunch which was loaded with sugar, and I couldn't believe how good my bg was 2 hours later. Like I said, though, I need to try a more controlled experiment with taking it and not taking it before carb consumption with the exact same amount of carbs.
