Hi All,
I was diagnosed Type 2; 3 months ago; I am doing LCHF and happy with what I am doing. Having taken this site to heart and thanks.
For a giggle my partner used my meter, the result shocked me; he a little bit overweight 6/8 lbs.,but does a lot of physical work. he is 45.
His fasting BG level on my meter is regularly 6.5 to 7.5.
taking readings pre food and 2 hours after his BG level never seems to rise more than 2 mmo;/L;
What possible reason could there be for his body not to come down to under 5 after a nights fast?
today his fast at 8am was 7.4 at 12 30 pm was 5.5 pre lunch. then he went to work.
Yesterday at 6.30 am fast 6.5 but when came home from work at 5.20pm was 5.6 ate a proper dinner with potatoes greens and meat [I didn't eat pots] he went up to 6.3 a hour and 20 mins later but by 2hours after down to 5.6 great but why.?
His sister age 46 has thyroid problems Hyper but lives a normal very active life with her meds.
My partner after I sent to doctor has to go back re possible thyroid abnormality. I told him to get a Hbc but doc didn't order.
As If I had not found this forum; I would still be taking NICE advice on diet, I would appreciate any thoughts.
Very fond regards to you all .
