I only came back to the forum 1 week ago after 18 months of stressful events.
I was diagnosed Type II in 2008 and was pretty much controlled until 1 week ago when I discovered my BS levels were haywire and may have been for a few weeks since I had been feeling awful. The highest spike was at 19.7 (not 19.1 as I posted a week ago).
After 1 week of strict LCHF , yesterday my fasting reading was 10.2 and throughout the day I varied between 7.6 and 9.2. I went off to bed at 8.6.
This morning I awoke to 8.1 which I didn't expect for a few months yet! I have 2 hours in the gym/pool today so I gave my body a treat of my very tasty Portobello Egg Benedict for breakfast (I have to give my body something to burn at the gym). I fully expect to get back in the low 6's today.
It is such a relief to grab control again so quickly (I've lost 5 lbs as well). I am also delighted that I feel 'normal' again and have rediscovered my joy at experimenting with LC cooking.
Now if I could just discover a low carb Nan bread.....
PS Still having problems with the Recipe App - it opens but nothing is there. I have tried installing again.
