[QUOTE="MoonUnit, post: 2266953, member: 524782"] Thank you all so much, your advice and guidance has been really useful and I feel a lot more informed already. I've started the LCHF/Keto diet yesterday and I'm monitoring my bgl's throughout the day now (as opposed to just fasting bgls). I'm still fasting 16:8 also. Hopefully this will help me get my HbA1c and bgl's under control. Does anyone know how quickly blood sugar levels improve? For example, I ate less than 50g of carbs yesterday and my last meal was at 7.45pm. I woke up at 8am today expecting much lower levels and did my fasting bgl around 9am - it was 15.4. I've just eaten my first meal of the day and I took my bgl's immediately before eating - it was 14.4. Will the fasting have an impact on bgl's? I've been reading about liver dump etc. so I'm not sure if this is the cause. I've lived on such a high carb diet for so long that I wonder if the distinct lack of carbs is now causing my liver to empty and/or dump carbs to try and match previous levels. I'll keep monitoring as I know it's only early days and will probably correct itself as my body gets used to low carb but was wondering if anyone else had gone through similar things? Thanks [/QUOTE]
