Morning all my sugars this morning are 18.8 don't know why

Had the same problem, been told to eat a hunk of cheese, or a hard boiled egg, or drink coffee with double cream in it first thing to bring it under control, but no carbs.

What did you eat?

 

[NewTD2]

Starvation diet?
Neither wonder no energy!
Please don't do that again, obviously not for you.

I was diagnosed last September and I got so afraid of eating I went on a starvation diet for 5-6 weeks of just under 500 calories ultra low carb diet per day!

I nearly died 2-3 x but my blood glucose levels went down to 5s and 6s!

Would NOT recommend starvation or very low carb diet to anyone.

Please tell me what did you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I’m curious to know!

I only had 2-3 pieces of small tomatoes, 1 boiled egg and a few lettuce.

It was starvation and I nearly died.
