I barely dare say it, but beans are carby... And in a liquid they spike you hard and fast. Could be why you get so exhausted. Porridge, starchy soup... I'd be knackered too.

I just looked on line for carbs in Tuscan Bean soup. They varied but were around 20%.
It seems you are eating more carbs than you thought. They won't be helping you. I see from an earlier post you had Granola and blueberries - yet another high carb meal. You could try a full fat unsweetened yogurt with 2 strawberries and see what happens, or bacon and egg with mushrooms and a tomato..

Can I just say, and this is from the heart, it took me around 6 months to actually get LCHF right. I made loads of mistakes and beat myself up on several occasions. Beating myself up was also a mistake.
Treat every mistake as part of your education. Dust yourself off and move on.

Friendly advice....I wouldn't want you hopping on a regular bike - at those BG's I would expect your vision to be fuzzy.....I really think you need to burn off the glucose with exercise though. An exercise bike would be ideal....I have both...and the exercise bike I paid a whole $35 for - a few years ago from a local ebay seller. Not state of the art...but does the job....and works best on rainy days.....It has done a couple thousand of k's since then....so good value. You might want to consider it....Put it front of the TV if you like....or near the window....or on the patio....And burn that sugar....

In agony last night, felt like a water infection, took a ketone test and it showed high (Purple) I sat up through the night and drank 4 pints of water before it eased off. I felt sick and cold.
Hope I sleep tonight. All I do is feel sorry for myself
If you're eating very low carb but still seeing high numbers and feeling unwell you really should seek medical attention @Arber
