Average BG has risen.

Hi folks

I've been on a LCHF diet since diagnosis of T2 in November 17. I've lost 10% of my body weight and average BG fell from 7.9 in December to 6.3 two weeks ago. Fasting BG has never been below 6.
Then two weeks ago my average BG began to rise. It peaked at 8.8 and has now stabilised again at 6.7. I am on the same diet and the same exercise. I never feel hungry. I'm wondering if I had a mild illness or if these sorts of ups and downs are normal. I have my second HBa1c test on 7th Feb (the Nov result was 54), so I'm obviously disappointed that things got out of control for a while.
I guess I really just need a bit of reassurance that I'm not missing something.

Could be illness, I picked up a cold maybe mild flu last Wednesday flying back from Spain. I had an increase in fasting blood glucose and rise is resting pulse rate.

Well done with the weight loss in such a short time. Keep doing what you are doing and you are sure to make even further progress.

Sounds like you're in good shape to me. I' wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you.

Thanks for the advice guys. It's still early days for me and any setback seems like a disaster. I'll keep at it with my fingers crossed.
