Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
There is a long thread about high BG after Covid vaccination.
I've just had my second jab.
I ate very low carb and my BG kept on going down.
Not alarmingly so, but steady.
I was woken up by my Libre 2 alarm when dropping off around 23h:00 with a 3.2.
I put this down to lying on the sensor.
BG came back up soon after.
However I had another alarm around 02:00 (lying on sensor again) then my Libre 2 had a hissy fit and refused to scan.
Looking at the numbers my BG had been steadily trending lower, well below 5, so I decided to have a yoghurt and some jam just in case.
After rebooting my phone, again just in case, I managed to scan and my BG was up like a rocket.
Blank half hour or so when the sensor wouldn't read.
All fine and well but this morning I didn't get the usual DP and my BG is trending down again.
I won't know for another few hours but I'm wondering if this is a side effect of the vaccine.
I'm still on just Metformin so no glucose lowering medication to blame.
Oh, and my knees hurt.
