I'm trying to increase my carbs slightly after being on LCHF (35-50g) for about 5 months (don't need to lose any more weight, just want to keep blood sugar low). I'm finding that my blood sugar spikes when I introduce new foods (monitoring with Freestyle Libre at moment).
Just wondering whether this is likely to be a temporary carb intolerance that might resolve in a few days of higher carbs. (I have read that when people are going for OGTT they have to eat higher carbs for a few days). If so, what is the best plan to introduce carbs... does it have to be a lot of carbs to 'kick start' the pancreas or a gradual increase ? How long does it take ?
I saw a post by @nocarbs4me and also @Bluetit1802 may be able to advise ?
(my goal is about 70g carbs)
