Hi
Sorry if this goes on a bit
I am newly diagnosed last week but did know the week before that T2 is what I was to be told. So I came on here started the LCHF programme and my numbers are on avg between 7.9 before bf 4.6 today before lunch but mostly in the higher 5-mid to high 6. My question is that yesterday my dinner was very low carb. stir fry chick with stir fry veg (hardly any carrot) and fried cauliflower rice with peas pork spring onions . Was very late though as was working from 6-8.30 pm. 3hrs later my reading is 7.6 Today didn't manage to test until just before lunch which was 4.6 (bf this morning at 9.30 was 2 slices home made coconut/almond flour bread with chia seeds and cream cheese on top) i have today felt what i can only describe as a slight ****** feeling with a little tingly in the fingers. This feeling would normally indicate to me I need to eat and would have been carbs and sugar. is this normal is 4.6 too low? I am getting confused as thought i was eating mostly good low to no carb foods. Do foods only affect in the 2 hrs after eating or can I be affected from what ive eaten the next day?
