Hi,
I am diagnosed with type 2 diabetes since December 2012, I am 67 years old, male and my main issue is FBS.
I am following for more than 2 years a low carb/keto diet and intermittent fasting (16:8), I improved my fatty liver condition and my Hb A1c ( from 6.7 to 6.0 but last six month it raised to 6.3). I always had normal postprandial blood sugar but, last few months, my FBS is on a plateau 144-146 mg/dl (8.0-8.1 mmol/L). It used to be last two years around 135 mg/dl (in October 2021 even better:125-128 mg/dl).
Yesterday I made a test: I ate at 6 p.m. an apple and 100 grams of of sweet biscuits. I tested at 8 p.m. my blood sugar and it was 128 mg/dl (normal range up to 140 mg/dl); so, very good. I mention that some time ago I checked also my BS during the night in order to see if dawn phenomenon is the culprit; but it wasn't.
I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE WHAT TO DO TO FIX MY FBS !
I thought even to quit low carb/keto diet. I really don't know what to do !
I would appreciate any advise (maybe from other people with similar issue).
Thank you and I wish you all the best !
