Fasting blood sugar results so disappointing

Have you tried a libre sensor? If not , you might consider trying one, you get 24 hour data, so you can see when your BG rises in the morning. I learned a lot about what affects my BG.

Ketosis is when your body is NOT reliant on carbs for your energy levels.
It will be beneficial for your blood glucose levels. You will be confused with ketoacidosis.

Thank you for the response -oh yes that’s it getting it confused with ketoacidosis
How do you find out when your body is in ketosis? Does it take a while? I imagine it varies from person to person

thanks for sharing your experience, can I ask, do you take any meds?

No, nothing.
I low carb in that I eat no obvious carbs (pasta, cereal, food in breadcrumbs, floury sauces, cakes, etc., etc.) but I do eat lots of green veg, salads and nuts and have less than 90 carbs a day.
I do lots of cardio but not much strength.

I've edited to add I really don't stress about my higher fasting readings as my readings at other times are good.

Yes, it is.
Ok, because you need to understand what low carb diet is all about, I would recommend dietdoctor.com. This website will help you will a lot of information and how to choose which food is okay for you.
I'm going to tag @Rachox, she can give you the links to other sites.
