Mind you, I should take some consolation from the fact that an OFTT this time last year had me peaked at 19 5 hours later :sick:

Tonight, I broke my ultra low carb rule and - nothing! Ok, I broke it by my rules which means I had a rather large portion of rhubarb and strawberry crumble (low carb home made) with LOADS of single cream... Then I had some (home made low carb) bread and have walloped a couple of bread rolls thickened with butter
The result? 6.2. Slightly higher than I would normally have, but really? I double checked. Half an hour later 5.8 :shock:
There is not a person alive or dead who could convince me the Newcastle diet doesn't work. I am now certain that a lot if not all the visceral fat I may have had around my pancreas has gone. Before the diet, there is no way I would have got away with that carb fest, as I was (and thought I still was) very carb intolerant. Perhaps I'm not quite so sensitive to carbs as I thought? Not that I would change my ULC approach as it's what I am used to and like, but won't feel bad about a bit of a blow out now.
Bet I have got Atkins flu to face to get back into ketosis (boo hiss). :thumbdown:

What have you changed Mog? It seems from the unofficial results of your GTT today that you're a best a borderline diabetic. Have you lost weight or changed your diet or something?
Topsec said:An example of hubby's diet:
Tonight we cycled to a restaurant on the beach, about 5 miles there. He had a bottle of cider, we shared a Garlic Bread (ciabatta about the size of a slice of bread but thicker) each and he had liver with mash - he did leave a little mash. Cycled home.
BG after 1.5-2hours was 6.3 so happy with that.
I have to say I think in his case, exercise is the big thing (he had been in the garden most of the day so was active pretty much all day)

I didnt know this - thanks. Thanks for the info about ketones and Atkins flu, didnt know that either, I'll study what you say when I have more time (bookmarked this thread). I've just had fish and chips today and after two hours my BG was - 5.9mm I've just come off the newcastle diet, and like you I think that's why my BG got back to normal (for me) so fast.Defren" said:Hi Becca, you don't need to test, but you can pick up ketostix from any pharmacy. They are just simple urine sticks, and they change colour if you have ketones. T1's should test especially if they have high BG's as that could be ketoacidosis.
