I was diagnosed type 2 about 4 weeks ago and I have put myself on a very strict 800 calorie and very low carbs diet. I have stuck to it and don't eat anything that isn't weighed and measured. My BG started falling until I was managing to get into the 5's early in the morning. However, I stuck to less than 700 cals and 20 gms of carbs on Monday and Tuesday this week and my BG shot up to being in the 7's all day Monday and Tuesday. Then on Wednesday I was having a new boiler fitted and couldn't get into my kitchen so lived on cheese, cold meats and nuts (large handfuls). So went over the calorie and carb counts. My BG all day was in the low 6's. I am not ill but was stressed the same on all the last two days. Does this mean that I need to eat more to stimulate the production of insulin. I need to lose a great deal of weight so I am hoping that I don't have to eat more to keep the BG down. Totally confused newbie at this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
