[QUOTE="Neohdiver, post: 1150671, member: 258692"] Well - I'm still crossing my fingers that today is just the body adjusting to eating some carbs again after eating very few for 7 months, But I have my suspicions that 6 weeks of the BSD failed to induce remission. I've had 81 net/115 gross carbs today. More than I've had in a single day since October 2. The recommendation for anyone eating low carb for a significant period of time is to consume 100-150 carbs/day for 3-4 days in advance of an OGTT (which I plan to run on Saturday). Today is day 1 (also day 1 back closer to maintenance calories in order to prepare my body for surgery). I tried to limit my carbs to 20 in a 3 hour period, and to space them out over the day, while still doing something close to a 12 hour fast. After most meals, my BG was still above 6.1. By ~7 PM, my BG was above 8.3 - and I suspect it is not back down yet. The whole-grain-based crackers seemed to push it over the edge, or it may be the cumulative effect of never coming back to baseline after each meal, We'll see. I can tolerate a 5-day experiment with elevated blood glucose. I had an A1c drawn this morning that I expect to be low 5/high 4. By the time I have the next draw the effects of this little experiment will have worked itself out of my system, and my doctor will never know I had 4 days of imperfect control. :) The next dread is stepping on the scales in the morning. I suspect the increase in calories + the increase in carbs will result in temporarily pushing me back into the slightly overweight range. On a side note - those crackers sure were yummy! I may as well enjoy my indulgence, since I may be heading for permanent carb deprivation. :( Sigh . . . [/QUOTE]
