I am T2 on Glick but keep my carbs reasonably low. However yesterday I had a particularly LC day although my BGs were as I would expect.

This morning my fasting level was similar to previous days but my after breakfast reading was significantly lower (3.4). Breakfast was as normal as were meds.

Any thoughts anyone?
 
yes I find that lower carbs throught a day will reduce my insulin need overnight leading to hypos the next morning if I'm not careful.

I suppose you could look at it as you could reduce/remove drugs if you really applied lc?
 
I have done this test any number of times. What happens with me is if I am running high through being naughty I go VLC for some days. It's not just the second day that you see an improvement but it continues over several days until you reach a low point. The loss per day is anything from 0.1 to 0.5.

Thanks. Unfortunately because of other medical issues there are many foods that I cannot eat and some that I don't like. This would make going really LC a problem for me as I want to enjoy my food as much as possible. I average about 100gm a day which is about the limit considering my other problems.
