Hello. I am hoping for help to solve a conundrum I find myself in. Up until Christmas 2017 my fasting BS readings in the morning were between 4.5-5.2 on average and I could predict fairly well through the day how it would behave.
Since mid February 2018 I find that my fasting BS is now 6-7.2 and by 11am has risen to between 8.9-10.5. This is even if I go to bed at about 6 or below my BS will be higher in the morning.
I eat 3 meals a day. Breakfast(9ish) is raw vegetables/ salad items, cheese, ham and 1/2 an avocado. Lunch (1ish)is a salad or similar and tea (6ish)is normally meat with either salad or veggies. No potatoes, bread, etc. Fruit only berries. Basically LCHF.
I haven’t changed my activity level. I walk on average 50-70 miles a month, Pilates and horse riding, an hour once a week.
Health wise I had my second kidney transplant 4 years ago. It was steroid treatment for severe gout in the lead up to this operation that caused my diabetes. Since the operation as part of my medication regime I take 5mg of Prednisolone daily. This has an effect on my BS levels but it is one that I have factored in since the op.
I am 68 years old and weigh 58kgs. I would be very grateful if anyone has any ideas of possible causes and any hints please. Apologies for the war and peace. Thank you.
