The subject of Acarbose has come up now and again. Despite the nasty side effects I am ready to try it, as carbs of any kind are making me really spike. When I bolus for the spike I end up with unpleasant lows. I’m starting slowly – one a day for the first week, 2 a day for the second, and 3 a day from then on. If it works, and if my husband hasn’t threatened divorce by then 🙂 I’ll carry on! Do any of you bolus AND take Acarbose? Would love to hear from you if you do.
