BG levels not coming down

[Mud Island Dweller]

Dive into the Low Carb forum with a pen and paper (you will get lost otherwise so many posts) and read as much as you can of all the posts over a week or so while gulping on a coffee (and cream) while squiggling notes
Xyzzy l thought it was 5g/100g? thats what l aim for (and no not being pedantic also still learning)

Example of a usual days eating;

Breakfast: eggs and 4 weatabix with milk
Meal1: chicken and rice
Meal2: chicken sandwich
Meal3: protien shake
Meal4: meat, potatoes and veg
Before bed glass of milk

There is also an additional shake post training and fruit during the days.
Fruit is normall apples or oranges

Congrats on the dropping BG levels Ken.
As others have said :
meal1 :drop or cut back the weetabix.
meal2 :Cauliflower rice is a good sub for rice
meal3 :Bergen or livlife bread is lower carb than other breads
meal4 : celeriac is a good sub for potatoes
in general up your salads & non starchy veg.
Good Luck

Good advice here all I would add is to emphasize testing before and after meals and try chicken wrapped in bacon tasty and filling.

I seem to be having difficulty reducing my BG levels even after following my specialists dietary advice.
I have reduced my refined sugar to nothing, and am only eating slow release carbs. However the levels
still appear to either remain the same or get even higher.

I don't seem to know what I am doing wrong, if anybody could shed some light on this or has had
similar issues please let me know.

Thanks

Ken

Hi levels are coming down after radically reducing carbs from diet, eating a lot more nuts and berries now.

Well done, nuts are a super healthy way to keep your calorie intake up since you have reduced your carbs. Glad you've seen a difference.

That's good news. As you use your meter more you will be able to tell how much of what you can eat.
