[QUOTE="jopar, post: 276227, member: 11712"] Err Did you actually check your Ketones levels, when your meter gave you a Ketone warning? As a lot of meters are pre-programmed to flash a ketone warning if it the BG is 14mmol/l or above it doesn't mean that you've actually got ketones, just that you have hit the blood levels that your body can start production ketone of the type that can lead to DKA... So you need to check either by using ketostix in your urine, or if you've got the right meter which able to take a blood test for ketone (got to have the right test strip)... Can I ask, why you didn't take your glitz with your breakfast when your levels were high! Porridge is low on the GI index, so the carbs are pretty slow burners... so it could be keeping your bg more stable over the morning, rest of the day you eating pretty low carbs.. Your morning reading are a lot higher than your afternoon/evening ones what could be happening because you've newly diagnosed, is that your morning levels are more akin to what your body had become accustomed to running at, your afternoon/evenings your body perceives as running below your 'normal' levels hence why you don't feel good as your body does need time to readjust it's self to running at lower levels nearer to the normal range... If you can sort out your morning levels and get the whole day running at normal/near normal range, you probably find that the icky feelings will sort themselves out.. So looking at what changes you can make at breakfast, perhaps smaller bowl of porridge or a change so that you having more protein than carbs will do the trick.. [/QUOTE]
