Morning everyone 
My husband is type 2 diabetic. He takes x2 injections and metaformin. His eating is good. He is over weight but we do what we can to get him active to lose weight.
Since the start of the year we have tried various different eating plans:
1. Ketogentic diet - we start this 1 year ago, his blood turned acidic and he landed in hospital with ketoacidosis - so we came off this and he changed meds and it made him gain weight. The depression kicked in and the vitamin D deficiency followed. We had to change meds back again.
2. Eating once a day - We then started him on eating once a day for a few months and it started to work, sugar levels where stablising, he was in a position to start decreasing meds slowly. But his sugar levels start to misbehave - he was waking up with sugar levels of 10 in the morning and by the time we went for our morning walk of 3km when he got home his sugars where at 15. During this eating plan he lost 10kgs.
3. Eating x3 times a day but small meals - measured out at 300g meat and veg of choice (no complex carbs) - It was time for a switch for we recently started his eating plan - yesterday due to stress at work, his sugar levels spiked to 21. He is waking up with sugar levels of 10 and i am not sure what else we can do from here. His exercise his moderate, as it spikes his sugar levels the moment he does something.
Can anyone advise how to control these sugar levels especially in the morning and during the day spikes due to stress ???
