I went on a low cal and low carb diet about five weeks ago after talking to my GP. went fantastically at first. My blood sugars came right down to the 5’s. After two weeks I had lost @ 10% weight so stopped the low cal part. I’ve tested regularly so any grains are bad for my sugars with large spikes so continued with low carb. Once my sugars were into 4’s I reduced meds (metformin slow release and Canagliflozin) and eventually stopped as all seemed fine and HbA1C was estimated at 33.
However past few days my sugars have shot up again. Put first day down to a bad nights sleep but it’s continuing with readings in 8’s to 10’s. I started back on metformin yesterday in case it was that.
Anyone else experiencing this. Still low carb (keep it to 40grams or less) with plenty of protein, fats and veggies, yoghurt and berries as my only fruit. Is this just a blip. A hormonal thromby? Or were my original readings more down to low cal than low carb. I know I will need to see doc if it continues. Been so pleased with progress.
