Bloods etc

Can anyone give me some advice? I had gestational diabetes and had to work hard to control my blood sugars even though I’m quite slim (normal BMI between 19 and 21).

five years later I’m seeing similar reactions to sugar. I stopped eating carbs and so when I had my tests in November they were higher than normal and on the edge of prediabetes.

I’ve relaxed a bit and for the last two weeks have used a libre tracker. My average bloods are 7.2 and I can’t get it under 6 even though I’m being relatively low carb. Is this something to worry about?

what do you mean by 'stopped eating carbs'? could you give us an idea of a typical days food and drink please? What type pf diabetes do you have and are you on any meds?

Its really helpful if you could fill out your profile and information so we can target any help we can offer to your needs. Welcome to the forum.
 
Are these Libre readings or finger pricks ? What was your last lab FBG or HbA1c ?
