Hi
I posted a few days ago with regards to the same problem so appologies if Im repeating my. Im getting really annoyed with some of my readings over the last few days. 3 weeks ago I started my low carb diet and for the first 2 weeks my sugars were perfect. But this week even tho Ive been eating the same kinds of foods my readings are gradually getting worse which I dont understand? Im running more this week than I was when I started the diet and Im giving myself the same amounts of insulin. For example my reading at 7.30am was 4.6 had scrambled eggs,1 apple and a glass of orange juice and had 3 units of novarapid. Tested at 12.30pm and it was 9.4 (not happy) then had some turkey with tinned tomatos and 1 orange and had 5 units of novarapid. Tested again at 3 and my sugars were 8.9. Why are they high? Do I need more insulin now than I did 2 weeks ago?
Really annoyed because I dont understand whats happening and I feel like Im back to square one!
