3 hours after eating 12.2 mmol?

Ate a meal at 7pm. Just done prick test...12.2 mmol. Should I be worried? About to go to bed too.

I am not diabetic at least that's what the Doctors say when i get bloodtests.

I am wondering if lack of blood can cause this? Even with lance on max depthness my blood clots so quickly that I struggle to get enough blood onto the meter. I would presume fast clotting is actually sign of being healthy? Scabs etc heal very fast.

I will book for a fasted bloodtest but the wait is weeks / months where I live due to lack of funding.

I have had some hypoglycemia like scenarios too however I suffer from anxiety and the two are very similar. During some of these the meter says "Lo" however like I said I find it hard to get enough blood on to the meter.

Thanks

Thanks. I have been on Keto since this thread, which is going well but having some wierd episodes.

My blood meter seems to be useless. I checked myself when I got up this morning, having not eaten since 9pm last night (5 grapes, due to episode, which may or may not have been hypo, because keto gives false hypos). Firstly the meter said "Lo" which means less than 4 mmol. Then I redid it and it said 11.9 mmol. That's a HUGE variancy! Run out of meters now. My blood clots so fast I have trouble getting enough onto the meter :/

Last 2 days have been perfectly fine EXCEPT after evening meal. And evening meal only. I actually have less carbs in evening meal than post IF meal at 2pm, yet at 2pm-5pm I am fine. But after evening meal I get reactive hypo. Sitting with it currently. Some fruit juice and 15 mins later I'm all good. I have brought my evening meal forward from 7pm to ~5pm so I am not in RH when I go to sleep.

So ~5 days of keto has seemingly fixed hyperglycemia symptoms and I am hoping a few more days will fix the reactive hypo.

I can't give accurate mmol/l because the meter is all over the place but it seems my fasting blood sugar has dropped a few units which is good.

The wierd thing is if I exercise hard during the reactive hypo, all the symtoms go away and don't come back. Yet exercise supposedly lowers blood sugar? For me it seems to raise it.

Which is why I am wondering if these are false hypos. Again i go prick my finger and get any result between "Lo" and 10 mmol/l.

I don't want to go to the doctors because they will want me to come off keto for the fasting blood test. Which means no progress for a while.
