[QUOTE="Fleegle, post: 1588768, member: 402985"] Week 4 day 25 & 26. Yesterday and today have been similar. FBG good - 5 pre meal - and at times lower. I had 50g carbs for breakfast (two shakes combined). BG went up to 7.5 declining to 6.3 in two hours. I am seeing some patterns now. Fast and rapid rise through 5 into early 6 then flat line for a bit before second lift - slower. Then at about 1:40 starts to fall and by 2h30mins down to 5's. That has happened now with three breakfast shakes in a row (even if the exact levels are different) where the pattern stays similar. Lunch shake is the third - and coincides with my 40min walk and that doesn't go above 6 really. Then evening veg does not really blip at all (obviously to early to call today's). So I am left with somewhat of a dilemma now - add more carbs in the morning and see where it goes - 60, 70 the entire 75? Or split back between three even shakes and see if I get the large spikes with each shake. I will have a think. It is impossible to remove all the variables, that includes Libre, BG meter, timing, activities. I am not even 4 weeks but here are my thoughts so far:- A long way to go.... Things have improved and in the last week or so I would say. I am seeing a fall at 1h40 which I have never seen before including LCHF even if the peeks are higher. The peeks are declining almost daily. So I had a peek with 40g carbs a couple of weeks ago at 9.3, then 8.3 now 7.5 (and in the normal range) and that is at 50g carbs. I couldn't eat 50g carbs in a week some weeks on the LCHF - and I wish I wasn't eating these carbs in shake form but there is no doubt that my BG is going down. I can see that by my Libre when I check my 7day average every day and see just .2 difference every couple of days. And sometimes it does go up a bit - 2 steps forward one step back. I don't know where this will end - I have always maintained low expectations but I am confident that I could now eat 100g of carbs in a day and my body would not revolt and that is a 10x increase on where I was just 4 weeks ago. Looking forward to the end of this and return to a slightly higher carb but still LCHF. I was intensely hungry at times yesterday but it was a long day not leaving the party till 1am and I feel much weaker today even after 600 calories already. [/QUOTE]
