Hi,
It has been some time since I have posted on this forum. I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes around 20 years ago and thanks to a lot of advice on this forum (and In particular Alan 'Everything in moderation except laughter" S, I did manage to keep it under control for a number of years
However, the last few years have been difficult (my dad passed away and my mum requires a lot of caring then there was covid .... ) and basically I have really let things slip. You would not believe some of my BG readings now I have resumed testing).
I have been trying to be really controlled over the last few weeks, to the point of having nearly zero carbs but my readings are really weird now. My 'baseline' seems to be around 11 ()it used to be 6.2) - I have had a few readings around 6/ 9 after I have been running but it then quickly returns to 11 which also seems to be fasting value. It also does increase after meals to 14/ 15 before falling again. It is almost gas though my body has a new norm. Has anyone else experienced this and does it decrease given time. I do have an appt with my GP but I also want to understand what I can without the help of more meds etc. first.
