You might be getting 'Dawn Phenomenon' or liver dump, where your liver dumps glucose into your bloodstream because it thinks you don't have enough or to get you going first thing in the morning. It is normal and non-diabetics get it too.12.3, I'm following low carb....it's getting worse although during the day it's at normal levels.....any advice please?
Hi @Keesha! I did eat more than usual as I had paid for 'full board' and wanted to get my money's worth! At home I only have one meal in the evening, and maybe a sandwich or snack around midday. But on holiday I was having breakfast, lunch including dessert, and dinner with wine, soup and dessert.Welcome back from sunny Mallorca. All the good food has not really affected you fbs very much as it is still within range and not gone over the roof. Well done. Did you do a lot of walking during your vacation or was it just lazing around by the pool or beach? Lots of beer?
Felt okay for the most part - bit tired when I was doing my walk to work this morning - but gave myself a treat and actually had a teaspoon of sugar in my coffee. I was surprised it was so low this am since I was a bit naughty last night and had some French stick when I was at the parents (which I don't normally indulge in).@Nicksu how are you feeling last time I was that low I felt awful mind you I was just out of hospital and ended up flat out on the bedroom floor, twice.
6.4 this morning
I just had two of these for my breakfast.... purple rolls are the biz!!!!!6.3 this morning. Ate a low carb roll yesterday which I made from a recipe from diet doctor. Don't know what I did wrong but they turned out purple and sludgy. Still ate one though. Weird behaviour!!!
After 3 days of very low carbing (for me) a 5.9 (chuffed)
Don't worry @ellagy and @JanetMcDowell - psyllium husks (which give the bread it's purple colour) are used purely for fibre, as they have no other appreciable nutritional value, and the colour doesn't affect the bread. A little less psyllium will reduce the colour.I just had two of these for my breakfast.... purple rolls are the biz!!!!!
