Have you ever had control Michael?
If this is your first attempt at low-carbing, it usually takes a few weeks before your BG comes down and stay down.
If you're regularly eating 50g a day and your BG is still very high, then you need to get yourself to the Doctor. It could be that your pancreas is pumping out enough insulin and that you need some help from drugs.
I have never had good control even at my best it was high single figures.
I was diagnosed in mid 2010 with a bg level 19.6, weighing in at 308lbs or 22 stone, i was put on metformin and statin for high BP, my levels came down and was in high single figures and my own doctor was happy with this, which i feel made me complacent and i started too eat too many carbs again. My level started to creep back up to 12-14, was then put on Sitagliptin which helped again and they went back into high single figures.
But since have creeped back up to 12-14.
I had lost some weight i was down to around 280lbs
I had a bad bought of diarhea which lasted for 8 days last month and got a colonoscopy to check that nothing was wrong this came back clear so i have been on a two week trail to remove the metformin, this has helped a lot only with my bowels.
Currently where i stand at the moment, i started low carbing the same time i removed the metformin, i have lost 7lbs in the first week, and my bg levels are averaging around 14.3 for the last 13 days.
Tomorrow is the end of the removal of the metformin trail and my next weigh in hopefully i will have lost more weight. Not sure what the doctor is going to say about the metformin because i have the feeling they would like me to continue with it if possible.
This morning i woke with 18.6, had breakfast which was 4 rashers of bacon and 3 eggs scrambled, took reading an hour later and my bg was 15.4, went for a walk 3.5 miles which took me about 1 hour and 20 mins not a fast walker and my reading was 11.5.
I will see my doctor tomorrow and i have my first appointment at the diabtic clinic on monday so i will see what options i have.
