hi
Just picking some brains please.

i have had 7g of carbs so far today. My bg before lunch was 8.3..i had salad leaves, wafer thin ham, some light cheddar and some full fat mayo....and a sugar free jelly. the total carbs for lunch was 1g....and yet i tested after 2hrs and i was at 9.6...ermmmm confused!!!

only other thing is that i had a bit of dodgy tummy since about 11am..... could it be that with not having alot of carbs so far in the day, my liver is dumping glucose????

ta very muchly
 
Ive had a higher read after a dodgy tummy BUT not on so low carb as you

I'd keep my eye on the reads and go see doc if it continues. If it's not the tum you shouldn't be getting those kind of reads after those kind of meals.
