[QUOTE="WeeFergus, post: 877479, member: 160912"] Hi there [USER=77537]@JohnCopus[/USER]. I'm not really sure why I've been tagged as I'm fairly new to all this (diagnosed in mid-January) and I'm really just following the advice on this forum to cut my carbs and move to full fat foods (yoghurt etc.). I was 53 when diagnosed and 42 at my first review (end of April) so the change in diet certainly worked for me and I'm still ' a work in progress'. However, although we have similar fasting readings I've never been as high as 10 after eating since I started cutting out carbs. That seems too high to me and I would try to find out what was in the meal that caused such a reading. I don't feel tired all the time and certainly the diet change has given me more energy than I had prior to my diagnosis. I'm afraid I'm not much help to you but if you're eating low carb I think the problem may lie elsewhere and you need to mention it to your doctor. Perhaps thyroid, perhaps low vitamins or minerals, perhaps something else. [/QUOTE]
