Hi,
today I had my usual diet but also added 1 x wholemeal bread with breakfast and 1 x wholemeal bread at lunch. I addesd it because I just felt very drained and not thinking straight as (for me) my diet of the last 3 months of have under 40 carbs a day was (or felt) very depriving.
To my surprise during the daytime my bg reading were between 5.8 and 7 up to 5pm. They have not previously been that low.
My question is could the carbs (or bread) have helped this? I am a little confused, as when I was eating thousands of carbs my levels were in the 20's so I thought it was logical that the lower you go the more the bg would lower.
I weighed this morning and have just reached loosing 2 stone today, so would that be the thing that lowered the bg result and not the bread.
I rang my gp surgery last night and the receptionist told me my Hab1c result was 8.9, but when I saw the diabetic nurse she said she read it wrong and it was 7.3, I was very relieved and she said I continued to loose weight and manage the diet I could not get meds and see what the next test is, or I could get meds to help me. so i said not to get them.
at 5pm i ate a large chop, a third of large tin of chickpeas and tons of califlower and since then went a bit high to 9 but is now 7.5 (which for me is an improvement for an evening reading.
is this much dinner too much?
thanks for any response.
