sorry I can't help you but I can tell you my experience. I am Type 2 - on 1000 mg metformin at night and 5/500 mg glyb/metformin in the morning. When I exercise in the morning I feel better so that's when I try to get my biggest amount of exercise done. I ride a stationary bike 25 miles a day - I've also started adding ab work and an exercise video. I also mow the yard a couple times a week.

I don't have any trouble most days with crashing but I keep my carbs spread throughout the day. I eat vegetables with my breakfast each morning, then while I'm on the bike I have radishes/celery/snow peas and a string cheese plus I drink 30 oz of water, for lunch I have a salad to go along with whatever meat and leftover veggies I have. During the afternoon I try to eat a couple radishes and some celery or some cauliflower and broccoli. I make sure to have at least 2 veggies at dinner with the meat.

My morning blood sugar readings are 100 - 115 .... evening are 77 - 90. I've been this way for a couple months now. The weight is coming off painfully slow but it is coming off so that's all that matter.

Don't save all your carbs for one meal you need to spread them throughout the day. When I haven't eaten enough or have been outside and my blood sugar has dropped I come in drink a glass of water and eat a few veggies and either some chicken or deli ham wrapped up and dipped in mayo -- within a few minutes I feel better and the shakiness and blurred vision goes away. That has only happened a couple times and it was because I didn't eat well enough before I started working in the sun.

Don't keep starting over on day - just continue to the next day. You are allowed 20 net carbs daily - make sure you eat all of them and they most of them come from vegetables. Drink plenty of water (at least 64 ounces of pure water) daily. Start some sort of exercise as soon as possible.

If you continue to have problems with crashing you should contact your endocrinologist and see what they think.

There are plenty of good food you can eat on the acceptable food list - make sure you are only eating from there -- no shakes & bars they aren't induction friendly.

Good luck
