Day 2 and sugars already speaking for themselves...

[lesleyp1978]

Well, I started the low carb again yesterday and today my sugars have been great:

6.10am 7.9mmol - cup of coffee with cream
8.00am 7.1mmol - 2 eggs scrambled with a little milk (3g) - 3 units of humalog
11.00am 8.6mmol - 0.7 unit correction
12.30pm 7.2mmol - soup (10g) - 1.5 units of humalog

so far so good so will see how the rest of the day goes.

I had some highs yesterday which I wasn't really sure about but the highest was 12.0 mmol which isn't really that bad.

I have quite brittle Type 1 diabetes and it has always been unstable. Low carb is definitely the way to go but I have noticed that even some low carb meals send me off course.

Yesterday I was 6.9mmol and had 40g cheese with 50g pickled onions which I worked out at 2g so gave 0.5 units of humalog yet after 2 hours I hit my high of 12 mmol??? Things like this still really confuse me

Well done on those low numbers! So pleased it is working for you!

Sorry I can't comment on the insulin, but hope the good numbers continue!

doing well already...ask the T1 LCHF here on the T1 page about your bolus and look at TAG total available glucose, where you may find you need to bolus for some of the protein if needed

You might be having a specific reaction to the cheese or the vinegar. Look for patterns like this and try eliminating specific foods temporarily so you can prove what is causing it.
