Hey everyone.
I stopped empa to do low carb and as close to keto as I can, and all I’m taking is Metformin. I’ve done some fasting last night and today, and I’ve had high levels ever since eating a chicken salad, followed by yoghurt and seeds.
I then had 3 squares of Lindt 70% chocolate and I caved into my sweet cravings and had an options hot chocolate (6g of carbs) as I’ve tried organic cocoa and cream keto hot choc and it did nothing for me.
I’ll be honest, most days I’ve had 30g of carbs from nuts or onion, I’ve cut all the **** out.
But tonight I craved an options hot choc and when I saw it was 6g I decided to have it. (With water and cream)
My blood ketones are 1.4 and my blood glucose is 15.8.
The hot chocolate is the only thing I can see that would have caused such a spike as pre meal I was 9.6 (which is GREAT for me!)
I’m off insulin (about three weeks now) and I really don’t want to go back on it.
I’ve walked for 2 miles today, I know the options was a bad idea but my levels were climbing after the dinner.
Any advice and kind words welcome, I’m learning and trying so hard. Thanks
