Only on special occasions. I use two types of insulin, Lantus, a 24-hour
low release dose, and Novolog, used 5 to 15 minutes before each meal.

I can eat certain carbs without too much danger, things like white rice,
and sugary desserts usually tear me up. The beans don't bother me much
as they are slow to digest. I eat brown rice exclusively as it is slower
to digest.

In addition, every diabetic is affected differently by carbs, not all of
us are alike. I'm a Type II, was diagnosed in 1994, my latest A1C was 6,
okay with my doctors, and my fasting blood sugar is generally below 100.
I actually have more lows than highs, Father's Day I had a low of 55
while sitting at the dinner table.
