I and some of my fellow diabetics at the local support group have found it is easier to plan. We tend to plan what we eat and work out all the lurid data, then stick to it. There seems to be more truth and accuracy in the fact before than the facts after. I had the dawn phenomena too and a protein snack last thing before bed helped heaps. Now that I have the BGLS where they should be (after the Newcastle diet, heaps of exercise and tootling along a mediterranean diet) my dawn phenomena has disappeared as well.
As someone has already commented, things take a while to settle down - the human body is a sneaky and uncooperative beast. Just keep at it, follow good advice from your medics and the results usually come along (even if in fits and starts).
Best of luck you will get there.
Hello Liam and thank you for your suggestion.
I've researched which nuts are the best and I regularly eat a very small handful of walnuts, macadamia and almonds. Although I read that cashews are much higher, so unsure about those.
I seem to read conflicting advice (not from this website), but through various media and other sources and it just confuses me to be honest. I'm sticking to what I have learnt so far and to what everyone has said on here, do thank you so much
Lovely thank you, rarely have paella, even though it would have tasted better if could from fresh, but I can't stretch time or turn it back, lol
Must try and get my head around this LCHF diet. Totally puzzling me haha
