I have been having readings around 4.0-5.5 mmol/l for the last couple of weeks.
Yesterday I was feeling a bit less energetic than I have for the last couple of weeks - think I have been a bit hyperactive due to the change of diet so that may not be connected.
Had a bit more fruit than usual during the day - 4-5 smallish apples, blueberries - and a few cherries which is new.
Took a reading before dinner and it was 7.3. Worried me until I realised I would have been very happy with that a few weeks ago.
Pre dinner has always been under 5 for the last couple of weeks though.
I had dinner - got some exercise and 2 hours later it was down to 6.5, This morning it is 5.5. Has usually been around 4.5.
Do you think it is the fruit that has pushed it up - it seemed more like it was system thing rather than food - is that possible? The body just deciding to pushing the BG up - I would guess that would be the liver due to me being less active than I have been?
More importantly - how long does it take to come down after a spike? When I first started it seemed t take 3-4 days to get things under control. This seems to be coming down slowly over several hours.
