White rice, potatoes, (white)bread, pasta, porridge and products containing white flour (e.g. pizza) usually increase blood sugar/glucose levels for diabetics. For example my levels 2 hours after intake are: 200g white rice: 11-14mmol/L 200g potatoes: 10-12mmol/L 2 slices white bread...

I agree with @HSSS. A low Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) value does not imply absence of diabetes. My FBGs 5.2-5.5mmol/L are in the low range and yet I have diabetes. White rice, potatoes, (white)bread, pasta, porridge and products containing white flour (e.g. pizza) are troublesome foods that...

The DIY OGTT test is for blood glucose only. You decide how many times you measure. Bare minimum 2, before and just after. More measurements and you can see how the blood glucose levels change during the 2 hours. If a private clinic uses Rapilose OGTT solution and finger prick then I think...

You are picking this up quickly. I'd better start looking over my shoulder! The '20g' in 20g/day keto-diet is the daily carb amount that would cause most people to enter ketosis state, but some can enter and stay in ketosis for higher carb amounts, for example 30-40g. The level of ketosis is...

I also think your blood sugar values were fine. The little higher breakfast measurements were probably caused by the Dawn Phenomenon (DP). DP = an increase in blood sugar between 3-8am in the morning common for people with diabetes. To plan diabetes diets it essential to know the amount of...

Thank you all! for letting me know the high-carb breadcrumbs and flour can be left out. I Googled and found 2 very similar Meatball Base Recipes. Will try one of these. 4 servings: 800g beef mince (or mixed beef 70% pork 30%) half onion, finely chopped half tsp salt 1 egg 50ml cream half tsp...

The linked recipe below contains 22g carbs per 5 meatballs. Not suitable for keto diet. I guess other meatball recipes also contain about the same amount of carbs. link to recipe: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/classic-swedish-meatballs

Good Morning @novoguy. What is the make and model number of the blood glucose meter your GP is prescribing/allowing? Is this a directive to all GPs?

Answering my own question 8 months later: Yes, I almost certainly would drop out of ketosis.

When I started this thread I did not know protein can push up blood sugar values. Now I am beginning to think the blood sugar increase was caused by a larger amount of protein in the portions, not by volume increase and the Chinese restaurant effect. I just searched for 'Chinese Restaurant...

I have spent hours on Google looking for effects of protein on blood sugar and protein max allowances. Most matches said no effect/insignificant effect for metabolically healthy individuals. One match was: https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/protein I found a few matches saying that those on...

Two years ago I was on a medium carb diet but still suffered from fatigue and poor concentration, so changed to keto-diet about a year ago and soon I felt a lot better. Intend to continue, but need to make make the keto-diet a bit more interesting. @bulkbiker I forgot to include Tesco's Finest...

In UK the larger super market chains have online websites: www.tesco.com www.asda.com www.sainsburys and they sell multivitamins too. For example, to find information about Tesco's vitamins: 1. enter tesco.com 2. select groceries (if not already selected) 3. specify search key...
