[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1303577, member: 41816"] Wow. that is some rollercoaster you have been on for the last few weeks. Sorry to say that with all that going on, in such a short time, with so many dietary changes, and illness, presumably antibiotics? etc. it would be impossible (even for a qualified medical professional, I would imagine) to pin down exactly which aspect is causing your raised blood glucose. Some people find that their numbers drop quickly while adopting low carb, others find that they drift downwards over several weeks, and others find that theirs drop in step-like plateaus. It seems to depend on a lot of things, which can be unique to the individual. Just a couple of questions though - what other meds are you on? Statins? Steroids? That kind of thing, because they have a well established history of sending blood glucose up. About the only thing I can suggest is that you ease back, take things gently, stick with a non-extreme diet for a while (a few months) and see how things settle. I would choose low carb because it is what works for me, but you get to choose whatever you feel most comfortable doing. It certainly looks as if your body needs some rest and recuperation to get over all the changes. [/QUOTE]
