Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with type 2 in December and put onto insulin (mixed humulin 30/70 twice a day) at the end of January. I've just started giving the LCHF approach a go and for the first week my readings were a lot lower, all between 6 and 7.5 (whereas before my morning readings were anything from 8 - 11).

I've been testing more regularly (before breakfast, lunch, dinner and bed) and have found that the last two weeks, whilst my pre bed readings have been around 7, it's shot up by the morning. Last night for example I was 7.2 before bed then 10.2 this morning!

Does anyone have any suggestions why this might be and what I could do?
