[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1558136, member: 327005"] For me the situation is a more complicated . All of my numbers have become a lot more volatile since. Some of that is entirely my own fault - in that I've had a very gregarious couple of weeks and trying to get back into the swing of what I was doing before is proving hard. I have found I am getting higher spikes after waking up, Its very clear to me that adding in the carbs beforehand has added a whole bunch of circulating insulin into my system and at the same time has reawakened some carb cravings I didn't think I had anymore. On both that night and the night after I was suddenly conscious of wanting food around midnight and on both occasions I ate a chicken leg instead - that in turn has then increased my overnight fasting blood sugars as the proteins work through . My personal view is that I used my "carb slipping" as an opportunity to try this carb loaded, and thus rescue something out of what was a silly action in the first place. Having tried it once - I think that the test [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] did is a much more valid test for him, than mine is for me - and for him its without the ongoing issues I am going to have to get the insulin back out of my system. I think its going to take me at least a week to get my figures back down to " normal" for me. As such I am not going to be doing the carb loading again anytime soon. Its great that I have general comparative of a "standard"test- but in reality what really counts for me is how I respond doing what I actually do . This test has been a very timely reminder for me - at just the point I was getting a bit complacent about it all- that I DO need to be very careful about my carbs if I want to get the healthiest results I can and carbs around 40g or under give me a much better chance than carbs of 150g and that is true no matter how quickly I manage to process a big spike at the time it happens. I will post the daily graphs showing how this resolved next week after (hopefully) I've got back to my "normal " LCHF diet [/QUOTE]
