Thank you for your advice

ok tha so someone without diabetes would have bsl of 12.6 after about 80g of carbs? I work really hard with my bsl, just because my latest hba1c was 33 doesn't mean I don't have prediabetes or diabetes and like i said my levels have go

less than 5.6

Hi I had gestational diabetes two years ago which didn't really go away after I had my daughter. my levels were easily managed though and my highest hba1c has been 5.4 so I haven't officially been diagnosed. my son was born 5 months ago and 2 months ago my bsl got considerably harder to manage...

Thanks for your reply. I guess I just expected lower levels as I have reduced carbs from about 120g a day to about 40g but my average bsl would be worse now because they don't drop as low as they used to after eating - around 5.5 and I have dawn phenomenon since going lower carb which I never...

Hi, thanks for your reply. I was hoping physiological insulin resistance was explaining my higher baseline levels but I ate more carbs yesterday than I have been - around 70g to try and bring the base line level down but it didn't work. I am worried that my diabetes has progressed and that this...

Thanks for your reply. I really hope you're right about re-adjusting to a lower bsl. I've been wondering if I am run in out of insulin or something. I have an endo appointment in a week and am hoping to get some answers about what kind of diabetes I have. I have lost about 3 kg while doing vlc...

Thanks for your reply. I expected to.see a decrease in levels when going lower carb but have seen an increase instead. I Used to have readings around 100 - 110 after eating but now even though my levels don't fluctuate much they hardly ever go below about 5.8 at the lowest.

I take 2 or 3 500mg of metformin a day and have been eating around 40 gems of carbs a day

Hi, thanks for your reply. I haven't been diagnosed with either form yet. My last hba1c was 33 or.5.2 a couple of weeks ago but if things go on the way they are I think the next one will definitely be in the prediabetic range

Hi, I need advice please as I am freaking out. My blood sugar level does not want to drop below about 6.2. I am eating low carb so it doesn't rise too much when I eat, maybe to about 7.0 but it doesn't want to drop down below around 6. This has been going on for about 5 weeks. My fasting b.s...

Hi. my blood sugar levels have gone nuts and I'm freaking out big time. I fasted for 24 hours and at lunch today I had a small chai latte and some raw salmon with soy sauce and a small salad. one hour later reading was 6.3, two hours 6.7 three hours 6.6 and four hours 8!. I have had diabetes for...

Before low carb my levels were good most of the time, less than 7.7 at one hr. My fasting levels were usually in the 5.5-5.8 are, since starting lower carb they are now between 5.0-5.2 which is good. I might give the carrots and Apple's a miss, thanks. I don't get why a lunch with salmon and...

8.0 at one hour after a smoothie with a carrot, 3 baby beetroot and some cucumber. 8.6 after an Apple and some nuts, 7.1 after a salad and smoked salmon. 2 he readings are fine, below 6.2.

Hi. I just started a low carb diet a few days ago - about 50g and I have been getting high one readings one hour after eat I g 7-8.5 even with very low carbs. I did not get these numbers when I was eating 20-30g carbs per meal. Any advice as to what is going on would be appreciated

Hi. No I haven't lost the weight yet but last time I tried a low carb diet I lost a lot of weight - this was after I had my daughter 2 years ago and I was still breastfeeding at the time

Hi. Please help! I'm going nuts trying to figure out the best diet to implement. My last hba1c was 36 or 5.4 so I am not even in the prediabetic range but I do have random tingling when I eat even if my levels are not high and I sometimes wake up with pins and needles in my hands. I was eating a...

Thanks for your replies. I can't remember what I ate to achieve the 12.9, I do remember that I ate and then I ate some more about an hour later. There would have been a reasonable amount of carbs involved but not more than 70 or 80g.

Hi. Have you tried having a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted with water before bed? It is supposed to reduce fasting levels

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I haven't been diagnosed with prediabetes. I have had gestational diabetes twice. I am on metformin to try to ward off diabetes after my pregnancies. I can control my blood sugar fairly easily if I eat low carb, my post meal readings would be under 7.7 around 90% of the...
