Looking for a bit of reassurance I think as got no one to talk to really even though my family try and be supportive. I just feel they don't fully understand.
Anyway I was diagnosed with type 2 7 weeks ago with an Hba1c of 95, take no medication, just diet and exercise and trying hard to be LCHF and up until a week ago I felt I was doing quite well with my levels, seeing 5/6s but since last Friday I've had a rise in my levels. Now I'm getting 6/7 some 8s after meals, (although never a bad spike) and I just don't understand why! First of all I thought it could be due to me being a bit stressed with work, then I thought it was due to me harbouring a bug but I feel OK now. What I'm eating hasn't changed although I've started to use mayo more instead of salad cream. Maybe I'm just over reacting and just need to relax?
