[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1878877, member: 401801"] Urine strips are highly inaccurate. If you really want to know what's what, do get a bloodglucose meter. Test before a meal and 2 hours after, this will tell you how your insulin-response is doing and whether the meal was too carby. I'm not surprised you tested high at the doc's, but that was due to your meal before that. If it'd been on another, 20-grams-of-carbs day, it probably would have been fine. So take a breath, you're doing well. And the bloodpressure thing could be white coat syndrome, so try to relax... You're doing great with the weight loss, your bloodsugar is in all likelyhood much better than it was, with the changes you implemented, so don't panic. Just get a proper meter and test. That'll put your mind at ease, and will help you figure out where you're at. But I'm figuring, if you're losing the weight and have been in ketosis... Bloodsugar levels are bound to have improved.
