    type 2 high sugar after fasting

    I'm type 2 and my levels have gone up, my doing. I've been fasting and low carbing, to get them back down. but I find my sugar level rises if I don't eat anything. Is this normal I thought if you didn't eat, then your sugar levels go down. or is my body doing something to compensate. Thank you.
