[QUOTE="D@n1el, post: 2246530, member: 517441"] Thank you very much for your reply and the aspects you mentioned on it, [USER=345386]@DCUKMod[/USER] I've never tried the Libre or other kinds of constant monitoring. All my numbers are concluded from finger prick testing (I use One Day Touch Select Plus, have 2 units, so when I get weird results I double check it). Yet, in many circumstances, I measure my blood as much as 8 times a day. From those readings during the same day, I guess I could see sometimes a somewhat flat pattern, but usually I seem to get a different shape: perhaps a not so bad 2-hour curve after meal, but a very lazy curve after that. Lazy enough to make me start the next day with numbers compatible with prediabetes. Not a perfect example (because it has no fasting BG>99, which happened on other occasions), but on March 23 I started the day with [B]98mg/dL[/B] (7am). Before breaking the 24-hour fast, at 4h37pm, I had [B]105 mg/dL[/B], Then I had a single meal (OMAD) with 24g net carbs (35g carbs). 30 minutes after finishing it I've got [B]126 mg/dL[/B] (6h46pm), 60 minutes [B]149 mg/dL[/B] (7h15pm), 90 minutes [B]111 mg/dL (7h45pm)[/B], 120 minutes [B]110 mg/dL[/B] (8h15pm). Not such a bad curve, is it? BG starts to give up only on the second half of the 2-hour period (I've read that best is when you start to see it falling before 90 minutes). Before bed, at 11pm, it was [B]112 mg/dL[/B], so my BG didn't go down at all, after those many hours! This is not unusual in my case. After the 2-hour period it falls very slowly or even does not fall at all. When it falls slowly, I might get [B]90mg/dL[/B] the next morning, but when it does not fall at all I will wake up and get [B]110mg/dL or 113mg/dL[/B]. I guess I do have a lazy curve after the 2-hour period, that's it, but I am nearly sure right now that when it nearly just does not fall at all, too much protein is behind it. I do think that my problem was not low carb (I try to stay below or at 30g of net carbs), it was too much protein. After buying the scale, my excel diet sheet had more or less the same grams of protein every day, but now 110g of protein is really 110g, not 70g (my estimation of meat and cheese weight was rather poor). After eating every day measured 90g (or less) of protein, I am on my fifth day with fasting BG below 87 mg/dL. Though I've started this topic describing issues with fasting and low carb, I would like to say that I enjoy both. [/QUOTE]
