[QUOTE="tcamper1963, post: 2217773, member: 502728"] Hi, I have been diagnosed as pre diabetes BUT prior to my Hbac1 test I had been on a low carb diet for 6 months purely for weight loss. By chance a friend of mine has a gluocose meter so out of curiosity we tested out bloods in the morning. Well, blow me down with a feather my bloods were 6.9 and my partners was 4.5! So being curious and having diabetes in my family I did some research which culminated in me requesting a Hbac1 test and low and behold pre-diabetic! So fast forward to 6 weeks ago, I travel through Vietnam by bicycle, can't avoid carbs, come back to discover my blood sugars are too high. Back on the low carb diet, and now testing my bloods 5 times a day. This is what I have discovered: 8.4 @ 10pm (bedtime) 8.2 @ 2am 8.2 @8am (on waking) This has happened on the 3 nights I have been testing. Additionally this was yesterday's food. Dinner@ 7pm : stir fry veg with salmon Lunch @ 2pm : chicken legs : Greek yoghurt with bluberries raspberries and a sprinkling of gronla (7.5 g of carbs) Breakfast : coffee with milk and a few more throughout the day. Similar food intake yesterday. So why on earth are my blood sugars 8.4 bedtime and 8.2 on waking??? Any ideas would be gratefully received... [/QUOTE]
