I really wish I knew what's going on inside that pesky body of mine. It would seem that me and my body are having a bit of a stand off. My BGs have been on the rise for no reason that I know of. Still eating LC, and till Tuesday last week my BG was a steady estimated A1C of 5.0% where they've been for months. Then I had an off day, then more off days and last weeks A1C is 5.6%.
Yesterday I decided that enough is enough and hoping to get my FBGs back down in their 4s and 5s where they used to be, I had my last bite to eat late afternoon at around 4pm. Pork, kale and a few pork scratchings. This mornings FBG was 6.2 mmol/L. Still higher than normal, so I decided to take the advice of a couple of the esteemed members of this forum and have a few carbs to stop a potential liver dumb. Had about 100g of sugar sweetened full fat youghurt (my husband's) 12g of carbs per 100 g. one hour later I read a whopping 10.0 mmol/L, so that didn't work out for me, to put it mildly. Not to be repeated!
I know that none of the figures I've mentioned are catastrophic, apart from the 10.0 mmol/L, but only one week ago they were so much better. What worries me is the upwards tendency in spite of my very Low Carb life style. There's no way I can improve on that. I will try IF and eat in a 6 hour window only every day, which was what I attempted to do till desperation made me eat that small amount of youghurt.
Who knows, I might be having some sort of a nondescript infection, but certainly nothing serious, and nothing that I've noticed. As you can imagine I've been doing some fridge/freezer searching. I've added kale to my menu, but it's only 2.6 g. of carbs.
Oh, changes in meds. Went from 1.8mg of victoza, 10mg of Jardiance and 2 x 500mg of metformin to 1.2mg victoza, no jardiance and 3 x 500 mg of metformin, but that was on November 6th. Could that be the explanation for the rise that began 2 weeks after?
To be honest I don't really know what my question is, but I'd love to hear your inputs. Meanwhile I don't even dare to have some of my yummy morning chai with whipped cream
Well, the good news is that my podiatrist says my neuropathy hasn't deteriorated in the last year I want her to repeat herself next year - or better, if possible.
