A member asked:
Just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and i'm under the impression i need to eat carbs in between meals, is this right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: As long as your not on mealtime Insulin or sulfonylureas, it is not necessary to eat carbs between meals those drugs have increased risk of low blood sugar between meals, so that was often necessary; newer safer agents that don't cause hypoglycemia do not require eating carbs between meals.
