I've been careful with me eating etc and have been seeing fasting figures of around 5.5 for the last 5 days.
Two days ago I saw a 4.9 and then for the last two days I'm at 6.6.
Why ??? I don't understand, I feel I've taken two steps forward and 1 step back.
Still eating low carb but my weight has also remained the same this week too.
Could my body be in starvation mode?

Help please

To be honest, on the information you've given it's impossible to tell.

Raised bloods can be for so many reasons, from not sleeping too well, being under the weather, over indulgences (for your personal tolerances) or even the warmer weather. In warmer weather some folks go lower, but others higher.

If you feel you might be in starvation mode, it could be helpful to give us an indication of what you are usually eating these days, and what you ate yesterday.
