Thank you I have ordered a Ketone blood monitor and see my levels and the ketone strip tests seem to be more expensive than the BG strips. As long as I stick to mainly balanced fat and protein diet with one meal a day I find my BG to be in the 4s and low 5s most of the day and heading slowly...

Thank you I know I still have long way to go and more hard work to do. I know now that I have to avoid high protein meals and add more fat. In January I have booking with the Diabetic nurse which will also be taking blood for Hba1c. Should I request a fasting insulin test? Whiles still...

Last night before bed BG was 4.4 This morning BG 5.0 Ate 1x egg fried in Butter 2x Cumberland Sausages 3x Bacon 6x Baby Tomatoes covered in olive oil. 90 minutes post meal 6.4 2 hours 5.4 3 hours 5.0 Definitely seeing improvements did not experience the 3 hour post meal spike.

Thanks will think about getting a ketone monitor. The reason I have little doubts about the results is age of the monitor. I might need to order one of those calibration solutions which are rather cheap from eBay.

Also should I get a new BG monitor the one I have True Metrix Air is over 5 years old which I purchased in 2019. Could having a old monitor give weird results?

Thank you I will be restricting high protein meal to once a week and most of the time eat cheese, eggs, bacon, sausages as that was working good for me and lowered my BG to the 4s and 5s most of the day. The steak I eat is mainly lean as I don't like the biting into the fatty parts.

I have noticed that if I eat a high Protein meal my BG stays in the 6s all day and first time in weeks got 6.4 BG in the morning. I eat a lot of chicken one day and next day large steak. I know now I need to reduce high protein and balance it with fat. I am guessing Protein is causing my BG to...

Also to add ever since been on Keto diet I have seen improvements in other areas. Drastically reduced Anxiety . Blood pressure in the 118/75 range, before it was reaching 130/85 or above. Feeling of mild euphoria.

This week down to 81KG but still have a problem with BG post meal. After 2 hours drops to 5s but at hour 3 rises to 6s and stays there for hour or two and then drops to 5s. Like today ate total carb for meal was 4g.

Near 6th week on low carb 5.4 at 4am 4.4 at 6am fully awake.

Seed oils seem to be hard to avoid. I always try and use pure dairy butter much as I can. The thing with my height is I have a short torso but long legs. My brother who's 6ft has the same leg size as me but taller longer torso. My brother is also T2 but he has better numbers to me and even...

Also want to add I am 5'8 male with a current BMI 27.4. According to the NHS I am nearly obese. But I don't look it at all. Even joked with the doctor 'Do I look obese? " he laughed and said no, said I look overweight.

I get from Tesco or Sainsbury's and get the ones with lowest carbs. The Tesco Crunchy and Creamy one has 4.7g per 100 grams. I only eat it once week with steak. As use it as once a week treat. Today post 4 hours meal BG is 5.8 at 3 hours it was 6.8 a rise from 6.3 post 2 hours meal.

I use the True Metrix Air which syncs with the phone app and currently showing 2 week average as 5.9 My concern is the daytime fasting levels in the afternoon that rise but drop to 4s or low 5s at night around 7pm. I usually eat at 12pm. Post 2 hours after eating it starts to drop but after 3...

Thanks that is my goal of becoming more Insulin sensitive. Noticed my post meal fasting creeps up after lowering and I know I will need to stick to the diet and reach <74KG. I still have to alot of visceral fat I need to lower and I am sure still fat around the liver. I only eat Coleslaw once...

Today Morning BG 5.2 Eat 4x Bacon 2x Sausages 2x Eggs fried in Butter 90 minutes post meal BG 6.8 2 hours post meal 6.3

Thanks that might explain it. I would guess I am still very insulin resistance as well and hoping it will improve with more weight loss as I still have fat around my waist. After eating that single wholemeal seeded toast I will not be doing that again for a long time as my BG after nearly 6...

Before meal it was 5.2. When I woke up it was 4.8. I eat mainly one meal a day. The sausages were 3.8gram of carbs for 2 sausages. My BG seems to be acting weird as chicken breast can increase it to low 7s. Sometimes my fasting BG can be in the low 6s but at night drop to 4s or low 5s. I...

Thanks I check the total carbs per 100g on the coleslaw and it's 4.7gram per 100g. As I mentored previously plain airfryer cooked chicken breasts spikes my BG to 7.4 after 90 minutes. I am guessing it's do it been protein rich. 4 boiled eggs only gets it up to 6.2. Today I ate 4 bacon rashes...

Thanks I cook my steaks in a smokeless Airfryer as my Smoke Alarm easily gets triggered and it's a pain to silence them. I buy Tescos Coleslaw and check the label for total carbs. My BG gets high same if I eat plain chicken breast 7.2-7.4 after 90 minutes. Past few weeks BG has not gotten...
