Now this morning is odd...

Had a bad huge food day yesterday just under 4000 calories a lot of nuts.. these seem to be my nemesis and I can't resist once I have started. Macadamias and peanuts(ok not really nuts and also quite carby) so I ended up having 32g of carbs which is probably double my usual amount and woke up to
5.0

Haven't got on the scales yet.. but don't think I have turned into Jason Wittrock yet but will report ketones and weight later..
 
Yesterday
A yoghurt, ounce of cheese, prawn stir fry and coli rice a glass of coors lite and 2 squares 85% chocolate
6.2 this morning
 
5.9 this morning, eat half an advocado and two boiled eggs yesterday in morning 1-45 mins later tested my BG was 4.9
Evening meal liver and onions two slices bacon green beans,cauliflower cup tea.
The breakfast was a trial break from fasting to see what different foods have on my BG ,was it the Advocado? K
 
This is interesting.
This morning I got 4 mmol/l
Yesterday the postprandial after two hours was 7.5

I had eaten this Flammkuchen that was a load of carbs and fats, and a big salad with lettuce, hot peppers and cauliflowers, and a pear. I was expecting a peak due the 65 grams of carbs of the Flammkuchen I wasn't expecting a low fasting BG. Maybe was the glass ow wine I took after measuring the postprandial?

Highly unlikely as it was eaten a long time before bed..
Onions maybe or it could be that your body like mine it seems just does what it bloody well wants whatever I put in it...

Maybe we are just phenomena!K
 
 
BG this morning was 8.9 - the lowest it has been for years but have just changed regime to include late night correction injection so maybe thats that. Probably changing meds to cut the amount of insulin and replace with Victoza/? mix. Was on Victoza years ago but was taken off it due to kidneys playing up or possibly not playing up.
 
Well interesting .. ketones still at 1.4 so even after more carbs than usual still in ketosis and weight virtually unchanged still up and down the same 2 pounds.
However will not be repeated today
 
Yesterday breakfast was cheese on toast low carb bread then went all to pot lunch was half portion of chips with curry sauce dinner was braised steak with dauphinoise potatoes.

My fbg this morning was 5.9.

I hear you.

I fell off the low carb wagon at the weekend, because I was running a course at my place and surrounded by home made chocolate brownies. Did OK really, but saw a 16.2 on Sunday after half a brownie. Yes half a brownie.

Have had the libre in for a week now and it's really interesting to see my morning rise. But today I got back on the wagon, had coffee and cream for breakfast, with mince and cabbage cooked in butter for lunch (left over from dinner yesterday). I've been outside gardening all day, including some fairly hefty digging... And I've been very level all day, but between 9.1 and 9.3! Rising quickly after I got up, even though I had some coffee with some fat.

I don't understand.

Was cold and hungry this evening, had finished all the cabbage and mince, so I've had ham, 2 fried eggs and a portion of chip shop chips. Washed down with red wine. Currently 10.7. Be interesting to see where this goes.

Time to get back in to ketosis I think. Was really missing my greens tho.

Onwards.

FBG since diagnosis (3 months)

 
FBS 5.2 this morning.
Yesterday B/Fast was Greek yoghurt with blueberries and sprinkling of granola
Lunch - Salt beef sandwich (bread was 10g carbs per slice) and Greek yoghurt and blueberries
Dinner - spaghetti bolognese with wholewheat spaghetti - after 2 hours 8.7 down to 5.8 after 3 hours.
Snacks were 4 mini rice cakes (10g carbs) and a couple of biscuits.

Not sure of overall carb and calorie content as I don't tend to weigh or work out the precise amount but probably more than most!!
