I am type 2 diabetic since 1985 and on insulin since 1990. I have been on low carb diet for the last 4 years but have plateaued at 93kg. As a last resort I am trying intermittent fasting to get rid of the bulg in the middle which is about 7kg.
My concern is insulin sensitivity. My blood sugars can vary drastically with the same insulin dosage, food intake and exercise. Some days they vary between 5-7mmol and other days they can shoot up to 12-15mmol. I am trying to understand this and would be interested to hear from other diabetic with similar problems and how they have managed to control their blood sugars.
I have a Freestyle Libre bloodglucose meter so i check my sugars 20+ times a day. Before this gadget I was not even aware of that my sugars could peak so much after food.
