So I recently posted that I was experiencing higher BGs due to a HF diet, but now I'm starting to wonder if in fact my Beta cells are giving up and it might be time for medication. Usually, following a LC diet, not particularly high in fat ( the addition of fat was a more recent experiment), I'll peak an hour after eating then decrease every hour after. Now though, I'm either seeing an increase in the first hour, then a bigger increase after the second which will then come down very slowly. I'm wondering if this could be connected to a reduction of my phase II insulin response. I've also gone from BGs of 4s and 5s to 6s and 7s, which I know is still within what the NHS would consider ok for a diabetic, but I feel awful, sleeping all the time and getting up to pee in the night.
I have an appointment at the diabetes clinic at the end of next month, but I'm wondering if I should ask to bring it forward, but then, as I said, I'm not sure they'll do anything as my BGs would still be seen as ok. I've always had excellent control of my BGs so all this has got me really worried
