Less protein to carbs is working for you. See if bg increases when you reduce carb but not protein?
Too much protein messes me up too!

Morning everyone.
7.0 this morning 3am, and the same again at 8.45 so hoping the liver dump doesn't happen today. Level is better than yesterday and considering I ate some tomatoes for dinner last night I'm pretty happy. I will be making Ditch the Carbs Walnut and Chocolate fudge today so combat the Easter chocolate cravings.

I don't know, but I do seem to get fbgs of around 5.5 after fish & chips the previous night. It's not from a chippie. It's a battered cod portion from Sainsburys that is about a third of the cod portion you'd get in a chippie, and only about a dozen oven chips.

Edit: I just checked the nutrition info on packaging. The breaded cod fillets have only 9 gms of carbohydrates per 100 gms. The oven chips have 31 gms of carbs per 100 gms (cooked). I don't know what the weights were but not very much.

How do you know how much to reduce? What's SW?

SW is slimming world. I am on a trial sponsored by Sanofi and learned that after 2 successive fasting hypo levels (4.3 or less) I should reduce by 3 units. If above 7.4 for two successive days increase by 3 units. It works for me and is easy. Hba1c has come from 10.0 to 6.4 (UK measurements).

To be honest mine was from chippie but was a small portion of battered cod and a few chips from the large portion that was divided between three of us. Plenty of vinegar seems to help.
