[QUOTE="Rianne, post: 2398294, member: 427618"] I recognise what you experience. A few years ago I tried a keto diet, with a max of carbs between 20 to 50 grams a day. I noticed high spikes about 5 hours after meals and learned that the lower the amount of carbs I take, the more impact the proteins have on my bloodsugar. When proteins do get digested, which takes much longer than carbs, they are being transformed partly in glucose. This gives a rise in bloodglucose. This might be happening with you. Maybe you could search the net or in the keto-groups, for more information on this. When I changed to a more moderate low carb diet I did not have these high spikes late after meals, although I find it still a challenge to prevent them. With help of the FSL since last year and a low carb diet I have now reached a TIR of 85% and a HbA1c of about 38. I wish you good luck in finding a balance that feels good for you! [/QUOTE]
