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.
I didn't say hummus I said humans.
Just in case you haven't heard, hummus and other dips sold at Trader Joe's and Target have been recalled due to possible Listeria contamination.
Be Careful Ladies!!!

These articles can also be found in the Health Guide in the Sugar Sense app in the Eat Right section. To find it, choose the menu with the three bars in the upper left corner of the home screen.
You could try making them now and start to decrease the amount of carbs in your diet. Instead of the candy bar, you could try a snack high in protein which will not cause your blood sugar to spike and then drop. Some snacks that are high in protein are hummus, peanut butter, you can dip veggies or fruit. There are also protein bars which are quick and easy like a candy bar. However, be careful with these, many are so loaded with sugar they are candy bars in disguise.
I hope this helps.

I ate a mini container of classic hummus that comes with pretzels from target a week ago..anyone know if those are on the recall list?
Besides pita, to dip in hummus?
Hi everyone. Here's my situation: I work at the container docks in New Jersey, doing a physically demanding job called lashing. Suffice is to say that the work requires intense lifting, a good deal of climbing, and some very long hours (the hours vary greatly but generally I work two 22-hour shifts a week). So I tend to eat alot of food, usually not very healthy food, to keep my energy up during the course of the day.

Hello Montydiesel,
Just finished reading your comments. Perhaps till you are back home, you should not eat hummus or eggs. Based on what you have written, I'm glad to hear that you are going to ask your doctor for a referral to an allergist.
As for over the counter medications to deal with this, I wouldn't take anything because you don't know what you're allergic to. Just avoid these 2 foods for now. You also may be sensitive to additives placed in a food such as hummus.
Serve immediately with desired toppings. Store in refrigerator to keep fresh for a few days. Otherwise, freeze in a well-insulated container or freezer bag and reheat in the microwave or oven.
Serve these atop a bun or just as they are. I preferred stacked high with veggies, a swirl of ketchup and mustard, and a few slices of fresh jalapeno.
So how did it measure up? This variation definitely met my veggie burger standards.
Now sugar alcohols (mannitol, sorbitol, anything-itol) --typically used as sweeteners in alleged low-carb or sugar free foods -- are a bit less straightforward and are the source of much confusion. Even for Atkins dieters, and even tho' the food labelling will subtract out all the gms of "itols" to come up with their net carb numbers, for diabetics taking insulin those sugar alcohols can't really be ignored.
From what I have read, the low carb diet is ideal for people like you, although if hypoglycemia persists, you may find that you need to increase the carb count in whichever meal precedes the usual glucose drop by a small amount until the drop ceases to happen. I encourage you to do some reading on how low carb diets work.
Skittles are my biggest weakness! ! Lol I havent had dreams about food yet thank goodness!!
