I am new to this forum and I was diagnosed in late March with Type 2 Diabetes at 69. I found carbs shot my sugars up, so the Dr put me on Metformin. I researched and found that diabetes can be reversed so I decided that's what I'm going to do. I found the Keto plan and started following it in May or June. So far, I've lost 25 pounds, stopped the Metformin and my sugars were consistently in the normal range, 4-7 before meals and 5-8 after meals. Until last weekend. For some reason on Friday night, before bed, my sugar was up to 11. Then on Sunday morning after breakfast they were 9.7. What? I did not eat anything different than I've been eating since late May. I have been having extreme leg cramps in the early morning hours so I'm not sleeping well. Could this be the problem? Would lack of sleep and the stress of the extreme leg cramps cause higher blood readings than normal? I walk the dog twice a day and have been doing so for years, so it's not lack of exercise. This is so weird and makes me nervous. I have been testing more often these last few days and things seem to be calming down. I don't want to go back on any meds if I can help it. My next blood tests are in a week and a half, so I'll see how everything looks then. I'm really hoping my A1C is down again, along with my cholesterol and that everything else is normal. Has anyone else gone through this type of thing? I can't really figure out what happened. Any help would be appreciated.
