Can anyone explain please?
Not long diagnosed and I've been trying really hard to get levels down! Considering they were18-20 when first diagnosed them now being 8-10 most of the time I am considering ok! I know they need to be lower!
However
Yesterday I has to rush my hubby to hospital with suspected collapsed lung, with one thing and another I didn't eat for 8 hrs and the last meal I had was lunch (chicken salad, banana and small pear) when I finally got home at 11pm my bg was 9.8, higher than other days when I test 2 hrs after same lunch!
Today same lunch, test 3 hrs after 11.5! I am exhausted today as have only had 8 hrs sleep in 48hrs. Does that effect bg levels?
Counting carbs I try to have less than 50g/ meal. Normal daily diet
Small porridge - doesn't seem to upset my bg. Carbs 27g
Apple at break - 10 o clock carbs 30 ish
Chicken salad - banana and apple at lunch 1.30 ish carbs 50g in fruit (I have a dessert spoon of mixed pulses so there is some carbs there)
Variety of meat/fish, loads of low carb veg, broccoli etc and 2 desert spoons of potato or carby bit. Carbs vary but aim for under 50g not counting veg
Odd cheese snack!
Am I doing something drastically wrong here? For my weight/activity I should have 2700 calories a day and this usually equates to less than 1500!
Apart from the low carb tea this is no different to my pre diagnosis diet except on meds I have lost 1/2 stone in 2 weeks
Any advice?
