I am confused by my numbers!
Okay, I understand DP issues but not this one after going on a short break.
Since being officially labelled 8 weeks ago I have been testing daily. I have also gone LCMF, also restricting calorie intake to shed some weight. In the 8 weeks I have shed just over a stone on an average of 1400 calories which is a daily deficit of circa 1100.
After the first 10 days my numbers reduced to circa 5.5 first thing in morning, 4.5 before main meal and 6.5 two hours after. For breakfast some fruit, for lunch some salad, evening meal white meat/fish.
Went away in this country for 5 nights in hotel. Had breakfast of scrambled eggs, mushrooms and bacon. For lunch a sandwich (yes bread!!). For evening meals I indulged, partly as a reward for the previous 8 weeks but mainly as an experiment to track the effects.
Over the evenings I had an Indian, a Chinese, a Wagamama, an Italian and a French meal. I am well aware what I would say to other type 2’s eating this food! Yes there was high carb content.
My numbers averaged 5 pre meals and 5.5 two hours after, whilst the morning was over 8. I could understand the morning reading but not the 5.5 two hours post meal which was with high carbs as this was lower than my readings on low carbs.
Any clues?
