Hi everyone,
Don't know if anyone can offer some good advise, but I could do with some.
I was diagnoised with type 2 last November and have generally followed the low Carb diet with some success. I have lost 29 kilos, but have another 10 to go., not easy as the weight loss has slowed down now. In addition to all my problems, I have been diagnoised with "Sleep Apnea" ( very severe),but now being treated, and high blood pressure.
I have managed to get my bs down to a reasonable level, but my fasting level is always high, appx; 135 - 140. I've checked for dawn phenomenom and have tried various suggested remedies, but nothing seems to work.
This last fortnight, I am worried that it is starting to get out of control. My readings have become a bit erratic, but we've had visitors and my diet changed a bit. Next week back to normal, hope it stableizes. I think the sleep apnea affects the fasting blood sugar a lot, but can't find much info on this.
Any advise would be more than welcome, by the way, I live in France, and they are a little "pre-historic" in their way of thinking, ie high carb diet, and precious little follow up.
I have found, on this forum, lots of good advise, I hope someone has some good advise for me.
