i was diagnosed at end of November. I’ve posted on here about it. I had hba1c of 79.
I’ve gone Lchf and managed to lose 5 kg and according to mySugr and DiaConnect apps, I’ve managed to get it down to 58 and still going. I’m going for another official blood test next month so hopefully can get it right down into the 40’s by then. I also walk at least 2 miles a day in my lunch break and more at weekends now.
Anyway, I’ve been doing readings regularly every day, but I can only do one before lunch at work, then it’s usually around 5.5 when I get home at 6.
Then I measure before dinner about an hour or so later and it’s shot up. I usually just have a cup of tea with a splash of whole milk. I’ve given up sweetener.
For example yesterday;
7am 9
12.35pm 6.8 then lunch
6pm 5.8
19.50 pre dinner 8.2
22.00. 7.2
These readings are a lot lower than when I started, think 14, and 13s and it’s getting better every day. I’m keeping carbs below 30 a day and calories vary between 800 to 1200 depending on whether I do a 16:8 fast day.
Just wondering why I spike just before dinner at night. Seems weird.
