Around here we have shiritaki (sp) noodles, very low carb instead of spaghetti.
oh forgot to say that high of 110 is at 1 hr, 2hr is back close to fasting
That easily solves the situation and pasta is just a simple carb easily replaced. I know it is hard with a 4 year old with mac and cheese and spaghetti as easy kid meals but think of other starches you can give her in its place.
You might try an allergist to do some testing to see what the ingredient is in the pasta that causes the issue. Oh, and obviously if you use plain white pasta, try whole wheat.
You need to be sure you are using the right Insulin Carb ratio for your doses before meals and that you have an accurate carb count. Calorieking.com is a good resource for carb listings in addition to what's on packages (and be sure to correctly measure servings). In order to gain weight you want to increase your protein and fats so that you can gain weight without increasing carbs.

Rice in soups or casseroles-high carb. Pasta-high carb. Potatoes-high carb. Bread-high carb. Regular soda pop and fruit juices-high carb.
Sugar is interesting-you can have your sugar and eat it too. If your dr tells you to eat less sugar you need to fire right back at him and say, don't you mean carbs? Do you know of anyone who sits and eats a cup of sugar? No. But I bet we have all eaten a cup of potatoes rice or pasta or bread....

Spaghetti squash is GREAT if you use 2 table spoons of your favorite spaghetti sauce. 300 calories for pasta, and 10 calories for same amount of the squash. Cook it WELL, and you can hardly tell the difference. Cook it less, and there is a difference, but I like it both ways. Make your own bread and use SPELT flower. It is really good, but kind of expensive. Coconut oil instead of even olive oil is good to.

So, in February 2014 my A1C was 5.7.
In February 2015 it was 5.8.
And this past month it is now 6.0.
I'm really worried. I have read the dangers of diabetes and want to stop it.
I'm only 30 years old. Granted Im a business man in an office all day and work 50-60 hours a week. I don't exercise. But I'm starting to now.
At 6.0, can I truly reverse this!?
Can I go back to normal numbers within 3 months or so!?
My fasting numbers are usually 80.
I have a 5 year old son who had a birthday a month ago. He has a chromosome defficieny called digeorge syndrome. He is 30 pounds. Doesn't gain very well and is very picky. I pack his preschool lunch only 1 time in the last 2 months it came home completely empty. I don't pack him very much. protein, crunchy snack, fruit, carb(macaroni-pasta-) He may eat some of the macoroni but not all. It's an effort to get him to eat breakfast these days.
My 8 year old is the most finicky eater I have ever known and its now cause for concern. This has been a battle since she was about 2. She has suffered severe digestive problems because of her diet, and her stomach is distended and she is overly gassy. Her diet consists of pizza, whole grain thin spaghetti, key lime yogurt, re fried bean burritos w/ very little cheese, cucumber slices, apples, bananas, pb&J, and any carb (chip or cookie) she can get a hold of. She refuses meat.
