That sounds like an excellent plan.
Just from a quick look I would up your protein and possibly fats. Do you log what you have eaten??Today i checked in the morning around 7:30AM blood sugar was 7.8. It is improved lot from mid 9 before.
But last night my sleep was not good because i had Lunch and dinner around 3:30 PM.
I need to find some thing to fill me without increase in blood sugars.

My blood sugar this morning was 5.2. Yesterday I had 1 slice of Hilo bread with 2 poached eggs for breakfast, then a late lunch/dinner of chicken, asparagus, a few small gnocchi, mushrooms and 2 small new potatoes with a very small slice of ginger cake to follow.
I was at my sons for lunch and do not usually eat potatoes or cake!
I'm not sure it actually says it's good for diabetics - if you read carefully my interpretation is that it's not as bad as refined wheat products! That is slightly different. Also it does not state low carb - it doesn't mention carbs in any of the nutrition tables, Buyer beware!good for diabetics.
I log precise amounts and macros (protein, fat, carbs) each day. Really really helps along with testing to get a clear idea of what helps blood glucose control.Normally i take a picture of what i am eating on my phone.
I am only diet controlled , but struggle to eat low enough levels of carbs , I aim to be under 100 grams of carbs daily , and that is not especially low I know but I do miss the carbs so much . My level is usually a bit higher and therefor my morning blood glucose is in the area of 6.5 mmol and on the more succesful days I get just into the fives like 5.7-5.9 mmol that is if I manage to stay under 100 grams of carbs .

If youre trying to eat low carb, you need to increase good fat intake. There doesn't seem to be much fat in your meals. Fat and protein are what keep you full. Also, try having a fatty snack before bed, a little cheese or a few nuts. That can delay the release and absorption of sugars from carbs, and might make a difference to fasting blood sugars. You haven't been doing this long, and really only dabbling with dietary changes. Fasting sugars are often the last to come down, and can take months to lower to normal levels. You also need to be testing before meals, then an hour and two hours after the first bite, to ascertain what actually might be spiking your sugar. Wheat, especially bulgur wheat, is no diabetic's friend, nor is any form of bread.
Your numbers are still fairly high.. Adding back in the carbs wasn't probably the best idea. In your shoes I'd remove any flour and go back to your ketogenic diet until your sugars are back in the "normal" range.I have followed with out any carbs keto diet for two or three months from April to June with out any medication. My HB1AC come down to 48. Then i thought of introduce some good carbs which are good for gut bacteria and my overall health. So i added homemade sourdough bread made from Spelt flour, Rye flower, flax seed flour and Xantam gum, slat, backing powder, olives, gobi berries and sourdough starter.
It is increased my fasting blood sugars up to mid 9 but i started cycling to work 11 miles each way. I was controlling blood sugars by evening it was going down to mid 5 or 6.

I am on the Libre Blood Sugar Diet and I managed after almost 10 years being diabetic type 2 to completely reverse my diabetes in 4 Months. I was almost 10 years taking insulin. And I am currently diabetic free which my doctor and I am both surprisingly overjoyed but still in shock about. Anyways it is worth a try.

I reduced my HbA1c from 53 to 35 in 3 months and have now maintained that for a year - on diet alone. Well, I also walk for 1 1/5 hrs a day too. But I don't take medication.
Me too! Makes no sense.JoKalsbeek what do you eat to be that low? I seem to have brilliant days of 4s and 5s and then the following day 6s and 7s. So confusing. Yesterday after breakfast if two boiled eggs it was 5.9 and 5.8 but today same breakfast it was 6.7 and 7.1!!! It’s driving me mad.
