BG levels not coming down

Dive into the Low Carb forum with a pen and paper (you will get lost otherwise so many posts) and read as much as you can of all the posts over a week or so while gulping on a coffee (and cream) while squiggling notes
Xyzzy l thought it was 5g/100g? thats what l aim for (and no not being pedantic also still learning)

Congrats on the dropping BG levels Ken.
As others have said :
meal1 :drop or cut back the weetabix.
meal2 :Cauliflower rice is a good sub for rice
meal3 :Bergen or livlife bread is lower carb than other breads
meal4 : celeriac is a good sub for potatoes
in general up your salads & non starchy veg.
Good Luck
 
Good advice here all I would add is to emphasize testing before and after meals and try chicken wrapped in bacon tasty and filling.

Well done, nuts are a super healthy way to keep your calorie intake up since you have reduced your carbs. Glad you've seen a difference.

Hi levels are coming down after radically reducing carbs from diet, eating a lot more nuts and berries now.

That's good news. As you use your meter more you will be able to tell how much of what you can eat.
