After seeing numerous posts on low carb I’ve moved over to the dark side, haven’t particularly done it for diabetic benefits as my control when eating carbs was really good.
I started low carb yesterday, 29G of carbs a day. I’m still weighing/counting my carbs precisely & taking the insulin for it even though it’s really minimum. Sometimes less than 1unit which is possible to give because I’m on a pump.
Anyway, my BG is all over the place. Really fighting to keep it under 10, don’t get me wrong it’s not spiking into the 11/12’s but usually I’m 100% in range and since yesterday I’m down to 86% which is weird considering I’ve gone from 200g of carbs to 29G. My pump is giving non stop correction doses because it can sense me wanting to go above 10mmol & when I’ve give my self a corrective dose it doesn’t actually budge my BG at all.
Is this just my body adjusting?
