Hi,
Please bear with me when i ask some questions,
@catherinecherub has already asked about medication. That can be a huge factor.
So can the heat.
Are you drinking masses, esp with your running
Enough salt? (You should add extra salt when low carbing, esp in hot weather)
But i really want to ask what exactly you are eating on your low carbing, meal by meal, for a couple of days. It is astonishingly easy for a first time low carber to sabotage their own best efforts - through no fault of their own.
Re you bg readings, and the risks - levels that high are not good, but i agree that they are not immediately risky. But they definitely need watching (congratulations for getting into a pattern of self testing).
Can i suggest that you get really systematic for a few days.
Test on waking, and on going to bed.
Test just before food, then 2 hours later.
Record what you ate, the portion size, and the readings.
Also test before exercise, regularly during, and after.
I realise that is a lot of finger pricks, but will tell you a lot about how your body is reacting, and if your bg continues to rise, it will give you evidence to take back to your doc.
There is always the chance you are an undiagnosed T1 or T1.5, so the more evidence you collect, the better.
Please let us know how you get on?
Oh, one more thing. A while ago, on this forum, I remember reading some T1s talking about how you shouldn't exercise with elevated blood glucose. Hopefully one of them will be along to give an indication of how high, is 'high'. For some reason, i'm thinking it was areound 13 mmol/l, but i may be wrong...
@tim2000s ,
@ElyDave maybe you can help?
