[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1570615, member: 219467"] Not sure where you got that from .. most of us test regularly certainly for the first 2 or 3 months until you get into the swing of low carbing especially to see your improving results. But hello and welcome to the site anyway.. There could be a number of reasons for your 2-3 point spike but your meal sounds pretty good for low carb so don't fret yet. As you say you have been eating badly for ages your body's glucose stores are likely to be over brimming with sugar so by eating low carb and not putting more in you are allowing the body to get rid of some of those stores releasing them into your blood.. so... your sugars go up. You have intimated this yourself in your statement so you are having the right kind of thoughts. Well done. It may take a few weeks to get your sugars to reduce but keep on with the great start you have made. Blood sugar monitors are also not especially precise tools so it's not worth getting hung up on one specific reading its a lot more about monitoring (haha) trends. Anyway all the best and if you have any further questions (you will) just ask away. [/QUOTE]
