Hi everyone, I’ve only just registered but have been avidly lurking for 2-3 months. I have learned such a lot in that time and thank you all for sharing such valuable info and advice!
I started to take my Type 2 diagnosis (of a couple of years) seriously when my HBA1C came back as 102 in March this year. Since then I have adopted LCHF as a new lifestyle, for the first few weeks keeping to under 50g carbs then reducing further to 20g approx per day combined with 16/8 IF and one or two days a week 23/1 with beef broth, water, black coffee.
I test blood sugars usually 5 times a day or 3 depending on fasting. I always skip breakfast.
I have seen great results with this change to my life and my app says my average level over last 30 days is 7.7 mmol.
I have seen some DP going on during the mornings but no greater than a 2 mmol rise if it happens, followed by a drop back down to rising level or slightly less by around 2pm.
My question is what do people think the reasons are for today, on rising 8.3 (1mmol higher than normal) then at 9.6 at 5pm. I have eaten a handful of pork scratching, cup of tea with splash of milk, 3 small sticks of celery and soft goats cheese, water, 1 black coffee.
Any thoughts and advice appreciated, thank you!!
Edited to add: I am 51 and BMI is 23
