The past is the past. What you can change is the future.
No-one's going to tell you you've been stupid: we all deal with this condition differently, and sometimes we'd rather ignore it and hope it goes away. Sadly, it doesn't work like that, but at least you tried!
Seriously though, your body is used to higher levels, so when you don't eat in the morning your liver will dump glucose to get you up to the levels it THINKS you should be at. It thinks its helping, and it'll take a little while for it to get used to the new normal, that's not going to happen in a week's time. So do give your liver and yourself a moment to get used to the way things are going to be from here on in.
Probably down to your body dumping as much stored glucose as it can while is has a chance.
You should never feel hungry on low carb. Almost always it’s because people are scared of fat and end up restricting all foods and their metabolism slows down as a result.
Yeah, hunger shouldn't factor into it. You really do need to up the fats, keep protein moderate, and eat until you are FULL. If your body's letting you know it wants more, it doesn't need to be a carb craving: it can be signalling that you are not getting enough nutrients! So, keep it simple for now, so you don't get overwhelmed in the grocerystore. You don't need to read every single label, there's enough foods out there that are low to no carb that can be the basis for your most common meals. Find those, and stick with low carb foods that fill you up. A salad is fine, but add something fatty to it. Bacon, a can of tuna, some salmon, a BIG chunk of warmed goat's cheese, anything to bulk a meal up. Eggs with bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and cheese will keep you going all morning, probably well into the afternoon. Meat, fish, above ground veggies in the evening, and if those don't fill you up, add in some cheese for good measure, or some extra bacon. Coffee with double cream (Or clotted cream!) for dessert, if you feel like it. Just go back to the beginning, start over, keep it simple... And when/if you feel like spicing things up a little you can take further steps. But right now... Back to the basics. There's 3 macro-nutrients, and it's not just what you do with the carbs that's important, eh. Keep an eye on the fats too (again, up those) and proteins (moderate) too. You don't want to deprive yourself of vital minerals and nutrients. No-one wants you to get scurvy.
One more thing: If your blood sugars didn't lower, at all, and you were indeed in ketosis, have you gone in for a C-Peptide and GAD set of tests? Could well be you're not a T2 at all. Something to consider. @mouseee poses a good question: what did a typical day look like for you, food wise?
Actually, not too sure about this. I would rather (at least) consider advice from people who live with this condition, and who have learned how to reduce, and sustain, their numbers.
