Diagnosed and testing for 3 weeks and up till 3 days ago I have been high in the morning and gradually gowne down during the day and usually went up slightly just before bed . 3 days ago woke up to lowest reading yet arround 6 but thwn it has been raising dureing the day even though I have taken meds (metformin) with breakfast and tea. I am not having things with sugar in and am usually under 10grams carbs perhaps upto 15grams 1 day out of 3. It even rose the other day after swimming but then the day after I dropped by 1.4 after aswim. I dont get why when I am eating exactly what I was before it seems to have turned its self on its head . This morning I checked and then again 2 hours laterand even though i had not eaten yet (teh second test was pre breakfast test) my bgs where higher than when I got up. I then went out about 3 hours after breakfast. While out (arround the 4 hour mark after beakfast) I had a meal of kabada (spicey meat kabab style seekh) meat plus a couple spicey chopsall cooked in clay oven no bread just the meat. I then went shopping (mainly for jelly lol) as I help my dissabled aunt I takes a while from eating to store 45 mins and then 1h 30m to shop and 25 mins for coffee. About half way through the shop I started to feel realy grouchy and bit agitated every one in the store seemed to annoy me prety much by being there and I felt at times silghtly odd or out of it if not slightly woosey I am presuming I had gone slightly high I had forgot to take my tester with me.i did feel alot better by the time I left the store. It then took 40 mins to get home I then had to unload the car for my aunt 20 mins so thats nearly 4 hours since eating and I had been fairly active . when I tested I was still just over 8 (yes I know thats not perticuall high espeially considering how high I was only a few weeks ago) but I do have to wonder how high I had gone. Am i more intolerent/sensitive of going high now i have brought my bgs down so far . Or maybe its just me being a grumpy sod . And how high is considered as starting to go hyper or at least start to notice you are feeling out of sorts
 
mate it can take months to settle down (it did for me) I used to be like 8 before eating and 5 two hours later and I wasn't particularly low carbing to the extent I do now, don't worry too much just keep doing what your doing, getting 10 - 15grams of carbs a day at all let alone this fast may well have some side effects but im no expert it took me about 4 months to get to 30g as I recall, as for hyper feelings I never have any signs of anything from 3 to 25 so cant help there, remember you have a long time to figure this out unfortunately :)

good luck
