Hey,
During lockdown was diagnosed with TYPE 2 diabetes and managed to get this under control using diet alone sticking to low carb and testing. I started a new job a few months back and this approach went right out of the window and went back to mainly eating what I like and didn't order test strips...
Last week I found some old but not expired test strips that I had forgotten about and out of curiosity tested a couple of days ago and noticed how high my levels were and it scared me into action again, since then I've been back on the Low Carb diet but not been able to get back down to decent levels.
I wake with it sat around 10.7, then eat and this will cause it to increase a few, it will drop again a little before next meal and soo on until it's bed time and before going to bed I'm still then sat around 9/10 and it remains this way until I wake.
Does this mean I've screwed the pooch and no longer able to treat this with diet alone any longer ?
