Interesting reading, I guess that's why some recommend you to eat something fatty premeal . And why a glass of red in the end of a meal makes less BG fuss than a glass of red on its own. Yes, Ive learnt that the body makes the carbs it needs from protein, but of you overeat protein, the part...

That was really only a snack. I have had a good ratio of fat and protein during the day, both breakfast, lunch and supper. Well up on what I should have for protein in a day. This was just surprising since Ive never had a lower value at 1 hr post meal that the premeal value.

My meal had about 12 g carbs, 10g protein and 75g fats if I just count the nutritionvalue of it. The carbs were mainly wilde strawberries, full fat cream and coconu flakes. That webpage is new to me, will have a look at it.

Interesting this, I have so much to learn! I followed my BG through this and found it strange that it went even lower 1 hour after I had eaten. 4.5 pre meal when I started to feel the sympoms 4.2 1 hr post meal still symptoms 5.5 2 hrs post meal less symtoms 5.0 3.5 hrs post meal.back to normal

Hi Jack, I dont know where mine is yet, haven't tested it since I was diagnosed in early June. Then HbA1c was arounc 110. Since my 14 days avarage is on 6.1 now, it should be considerably lower next time I test it. So you are saying that you can get symptoms of hypo beacause these "low" BG...

Im also almost 6 weeks on now. I had high BG every morning, around 8.5 at least. Was sure that the Dawn Phenomenon was the cause and started to take resistant starch to prevent this (potato starch). That lowered my morning BG to 7.5. But this last week it seems like my body has finally addepted...

Ty for your reply! I will most definatly keep eating LCHF! Its simply the best! For me at least. Im newly diagnosed and have only taken Metf. for 6 weeks (just as long as Ive eaten LCHF). I will continue for a little longer to make sure that my BG has become stable. Then Metf. will be up for...

Sorry, of course I mean BG. Im swedish and its BS (blodsocker) in my language. Sorry again!

As it says below, Im T2, taking 2x2 500mg Metf./day and on a low carb high fat diet. My BG levels has finally come down to decent numbers, mainly below 6. Now to my questions. What are the symptoms of low BG. And at what BG level does these symptoms appear for you? I had a good supper...

My best melted cheese tip is soo easy. Bacon on a own plate, cheese on top of that. Bake for 10 min in 225 degrees Celsius. Let cool down a bit. Done! A super snack when everyone have crisps or instead of any meal!

I bet you cant wait to get back to uni. If you only could get them to watch the food revolution.. its just an hour of their life. Then they might start to understand that high BS levels are toxic and that you are right when you say that you need to stay away from carbs. Wish I could do something...

Looks like you have made a decision, great! Keep to it and try to make your way through your parents fridge/freezer. Egg with butter, egg and bacon, tinned mackerel (remove the tomatoe sauce) with mayonnaise are my top 3 breakfast alternatives. Lots of good advice here!

I agree on getting your parents involved. Have then watch the video The food revolution at the dietdoctor.com. The goal should be for you to get your BS down as low as possible, 10 is way too high. There are so many riscs with having a too high BS, hopefully you will get your parents to...

Dawn pheonomenon yes, liver dump and insulin resistance, not so much. I guess I have some more reading to do.

Todays morning test: 6.7. A lot higher than yesterday, but at least under 7 and Im happy about that!

No, nothing wrong at all!! Im amazed! I just cant figure out what made the difference. Will be interesting to see how tomorrows values are. Low on test strips to the meter though, so cant test as much as today. Im sticking to potatoe starch :) Thanks for your replies, Jack!

I have had the best day since my diagnosis!! Test values like today feels great. I dont know what changed, but Im generally an entire step lower at each test. I tested premeal, and 30, 60 and 180 min post meal just to see what happened with my BS. Morning premeal: 5.2...30 min pm: 7.9....60 min...

Yes, forgot to write that I would test premeal also. I slept in today, and got my lowest morning BS so far, very happy!!! 5.2 What a difference!! Will be very interesting to se what tomorrow's morning test says. My morning BS was never below 8.5 before I started with potatoe starch. It doesnt...

I actually think I will test 30, 60 and 120 min after every meal. Just to se how my bs variates. At least for a day or two. According to my dr they often prescribe insulin as a support when the BS values are as bad as mine are. However, she decided to hold on for a while. I would have...

Oh, and my dr.. she just wants to give me insulin to help up my own production. I dont want to go there. Hopefully it will all be better if I stay to my diet (a diet my dr dont aprove of) and when I have lost more weight. Im hoping to show her that my way is the right way when my blood tests...
