...so ideas please!?
I started lowering my carb intake some time before I 'officially' started following LCHF diet about 9 weeks ago...8 weeks everything went BRLIANTLY...blood sugars came crashing down and I had to lower my insulin intake drastically, even had odd day without need for insulin at all...and then I had few days slightly higher readings and I could not explain any reason for them at all...so I decided to take matter further and try fasting. It wasn't very pleasant experience...managed nearly 4 days, out of them day 3 I was feeling normal and highly energetic...but even then my blood sugars didn't really come down that much...in higher end of normal range most of the time.
I thought...yep, it must be the excess from stores that is coming out....I knew I was producing ketones...I've had ketone breath some time now, even before starting the fast
And then came the 4th fasting day...managed just about half day and I just couldn't do it anymore...but my blood glucose levels were not that low!?
So now I've been back into solids....thought still eating VERY carefully and only very small amounts and within LCHF guide lines..though on the very low end of the carb intake...and the ketone breath is not going away
What is bothering me...I cannot get my blood sugars back down again...I walk, I do physical stuff...everything like I did before when I had constant brilliant test results and now I'm lucky to even get down to 6! I don't feel particularly hungry, nor thirsty, eye sight fine, blood pressure fine....but I'm feeling the cold weather when outside and I don't feel warm inside neither. Sometimes I have been testing my blood thinking I must be having low bloodsugar levels..it is almost like I have hypo coming on...little achy feeling on arms like I would have done something to make my muscles tender day before...BUT I haven't!
And now I've got this rash under my armpit and under my boobies....cannot explain that neither!? I haven't used any new products, don't usually react anything that way. I've taken antihistamin last couple of days incase it is allergic reaction...but it doesn't have no effect. And even then my blood sugars have been up before this rash....just thought to mention it as it is only thing that is obvious being different with me....oh and yes, I've lost weight over these months, that too is different
I don't feel I have cold coming anything like that, just little achy..feeling cold..and 'rashy'!?
I just can't figure out what to do...I've taken some insulin to bring my 'sugars' into higher end of the normal range..but now I feel like everything is going backwards...!? And my fasting was supposed to help me...
I still carry on extended fasting hours like before total fasting...but it doesn't come as easily now...I'm really watching the time all the time as I feel I'm ready for little something to eat, but not really hungry as such
So any thoughts....is there something 'going around' that I should be aware...maybe I'm turning into
