Hey all
Just diagnosed with type 2 last Friday with a ha1c thingy tested at 68

Started keto diet straight away and ordered a sd code free bg monitor which arrived today

Hadn’t eaten yet as I was not hungry so first test before meal was at 3.20pm at a 6.0
Meal consisted of backed chicken thigh with leek, spring onion, half a tomato, 2 mushrooms, a good squeeze of tomato purée, garlic salt and crushed chilli flakes, 100g ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of cheddar on top all baked in the oven

Tested there at 5.20 and it’s 6.8

Is that ok?
Was expecting a bigger raise after that as there were a good bit of veggies in the meal
 
There is limited carbs in above ground veg, hence your BG increase is about what I would get from that meal. Also remember that your meter is likely to be off by upto 10%, so the next time the same meal may seem to give a different increase in BG.

The meter is most helpful in finding the few meals that increase your BG more than you expect as it is easy for all of us to allow carbs into a meal without realising.
