I have not monitored my BG for about 6 months other than quarterly hba1c tests as the last monitoring I did had me mostly a flat line all the time except for mornings. I had a libre sitting around I put on a couple days ago as I wanted to know what impact a ‘bad’ meal once a month, some beer on occasion, and the odd ice cream had on me.
So last night I ate half a pizza and had a few low carb beers. They put bbq sauce on it by mistake so more sugar then I had planned. I was at 5.5 before and shocked to see 5.2 two hours later. The highest I got up to was about 7 around an hour in. BG kept dropping and was about 4 all night until I woke up and other then a quick morning blip into the 6s has been mid 5s and lower all day.
I’m a bit shocked/surprised by the results to be honest. I did lose about 12kgs which I was mostly carrying in my belly so not sure if that has made the difference.
I don't plan on going off low carb as I actually quite like it but I am really surprised (and pleased) with the results. I do plan on being a bit freer with what I eat though a couple times a month so pretty happy I don't need to stress too much about that. I am in keto but a high carb meal didn't knock me out. I did feel hungry a little bit this morning after breakfast which was unusual but it passed.
For background info I am a 48 year old male, diagnosed with an hba1c of 54 my last hba1c was 37 in January. I am now on the low side of BMI and run 4-5 times a week and started doing resistance training in January.
