Hi All
I have just started using the Lingo app today and read that the first 24 hours can be a bit unreliable. I have been comparing the readings to my pen and test strips and noticed some variance. Has anyone else experienced this when first starting with Lingo?
Also, I would love some advice on glucose spikes. Earlier today, I had oats with nuts and blueberries -about 60g of carbs. My glucose spiked to 10.1 mmol/L after 30 minutes, but it returned to around 6.9 mmol/L after 2 hours, which seems to be within guidance.My question is: Is the peak of a spike important, or is it only concerning if levels stay high? Ive read that staying under 7.8 mmol/L after 2 hours is ideal, but does a temporary spike to 10-11 matter if it drops back within range?
Im aiming to follow a low-carb approach but just outside of ketosis as I struggle to exercise effectively on very low carbs. Im looking to maintain around 75g of carbs daily.
