I've been doing well with my low carb diet. My morning BG is consistently about 6.3. Before it was 7.6.
Yesterday was a normal food day--Cheese and sliced salami lunch and dinner green beans and broccoli with fish baked in a bag with butter melted in the fish juices to make sauce. Where are the carbs in that ?
During the night I had bad cramp in my left leg with a feeling it was cold and slightly numb.* This morning up late--felt rotten--shakey tired cold bit dizzy. Tested at midday after a thin biscuit and two cups of tea with sweetener and the reading was 8.3.
Puzzling and worrying.
I though shakiness and dizzyness was a sign of low BG not high. How could it be so high after a very low carb day?
I'm running out of ideas and confidence now.
Comments welcome please.
* There is a long history of problems with my left leg so I think any symptoms will be confusing.
