Hi all, I have been type 2 for about 10 years now and my levels have been fairly stable, although on the higher side of what my GP would like (8-8.6 usually) . Have recently moved and changed doctors and have been advised to try a low carb diet which i have been doing for the last 2-3 weeks. I have noticed however that my night-time reading is now up to between 9-10 has even been up to 11 on one day. Mainly eating porridge for breakfast with a chopped banana in, omelette with spinach, carrot & corgette for lunch or scrambled eggs and ham, dinner is either a stir-fry with lots of veg, chicken and courgette noodles or meat (chicken mainly) or fish with roasted veg or homemade coleslaw with mayo & greek yoghurt. No potatoes, bread, rice or pasta for the past 3 weeks. Walk regularly each day, but have an office job so sat a lot of the time, started swimming again & will be doing a class in low impact exercised as i have bad knees and ankles at local gym after my initiation next week
Anyone know why my levels would be going higher rather than lowering as they should be? Feel like i am making a major mistake somewhere but don't know where and googling it is just making my mind spin.....!!
