Just to sum up: Some of you will know that everything went well for me till last Sunday. Eating very few carbs, less than 20g a day I'm sure, had successfully lowered my estimated A1C to 5.1% over the last 3 months. Then suddenly on Sunday my BGs went up quite a bit, and the A1C for the last 3 days shows a whopping 6.0% - and I haven't changed my way of eating.
Today my FBG was 5.7, ok fine, but 4 hours later it was 8.7, and I'd only had 2 slices of cheese and some glasses of water. 4 year old briped rebelled. If this is how it's gonna be, then I might as well have me some carbs!
I had two slices of rye bread, and sure enough, 1½ - 2 hours later my BS was 10.1. Who cares, briped shouted at her diabetic body, and pigged herself, albeit a little more low carbyish. I had a pork patty, about 75 g, I think, and made myself a Low Carb microwave mug cake with a small splashing of whisky ( perhaps 3-4 teaspoonfulls, go for it!!) with whipped cream. I felt I went completely overboard, but perhaps I hadn't really been stuffing myself that badly, looking back on it.
Now, here's the weird thing. 4 hours 20 minutes after the 10.1 reading it was suddenly 5.1.
To me checking my blood has become quite a bit of a thriller. Wonder if that tiny bit of whiskey did it?
Also, sorry for boring you with these BG posts. I promise I'll stop them once a/ they're back to normal or b/ I accept that I'll never understand how BG works.
