Foods with close to 10 grams of carbs per 100 can still add up to the total carb count, eating 200 grams of fruits or yoghurt with 10gr per 100 is still 20 grams of carbs in one go, and it's easy to eat more than 200 grams weight in one meal. So you might want to have a look at the total carbs per meal as well, and use your meter before and after meals to see how you react to them.I don’t eat food with anything higher than 10g carbs per 100g. So, y’know, fruit, veg, nuts, protein, yog, etc.
In 3 months, this is a very big jump with no change in habits.I get tested every 3 months, hence a big shock to have that jump.
I did have surgery in August which has resulted in me going into immediate surgical menopause?
Any new medications since the surgery?Diagnosed about 2.5 yrs ago.
Understand about the total carb count per meal, will deffo give that a much sharper focus.

What meds have they got you on?
if they don’t make a difference, then I’d second the suggestion to consider other types of diabetes. Many people, including medical professionals, will assume that anyone presenting with diabetes in their 40’s/50’s must be type 2. But you can develop T1 in later years, and it tends to develop more gradually in that case. My mother-in-law did, as did Theresa May!
Stress, infections, injuries can easily put blood sugar up so I suspect your body repairing itself after the operation might well be a factor. Also I wear a CGM and (being a lady of a certain age) can very clearly see that every time I have a hot flush my blood sugar goes up. So if you have having a lot as your hormones settle down that might be contributing to the rise.
I do agree it’s worth measuring total carbs per meal though. You may well have slipped into eating more than your body can cope with. could you get a CGM for a trial hich would give you two weeks to experiment and see if any of your specific meals are affecting it?
