Hi, hoping someone can shed some light on to what’s happening with me at the moment.
I’m type one. I’ve recently switched to a low carb/Keto style diet. I wasn’t on a high carb diet before but I would still have bread and rice sometimes etc with meals (not every meal).
Today for example I had Greek yogurt for breakfast with a coffee. I took a small amount of fast acting insulin for the milk in my coffee because I’m sensitive to blood sugar changes in the mornings anyway (dawn phenomena). Blood sugar shot up from 6.4mmol to 12mmol an hour or so after. Took a correction dose.. then had two boiled eggs for lunch. Again, my blood sugar shot up to 15mmol!
This has happened the last few days eating similar low or no carb foods. I’m so confused.. why is my blood sugar going high? I take levemir as my background insulin and haven’t changed that amount at all. Even through the night if I have something like chicken and veg For my evening meal I’m going high through the night. Obviously I take into account the carbs in any veg I have.

We have plenty of members who have been thriving for years on a very low carb diet.Also bear in mind being too low carb is not good for your body as producing energy from fat and protein takes longer and your body needs some immediate form of energy.
