Just remembered this old thread, which I saved ages ago:
https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/how-to-maintain-weight.123930/
Think when you eat over a longer period your bgs readings may be a tad higher - well mine are but I don’t have any big swings down or up so again think that helps re the hunger too. My view is that at hbaca1 30 I have room to work it out and if it goes up a point or two in November at next check it would still be excellent and normal. Having said this mysugr is still predicting 30 and it was predicting nearly 32 at my last hbaca1 at which I got a 30. So it’s clearly not gone up overall I don’t think. We’ve got to work out what works and is sustainable for our futures with a steady eye on any significant increases. I don’t swing as dramatically down on bgs but my bgs are very very stable all day so don’t swing upwards either. Good luck with your experiments hope you manage to find a way forwardthat works for you.
@Goonergal as you say it’s important to keep an eye on trends down or up but would imagine minor adjust could change things - What about making a more measured alternative to pudding like the choc olive oil cake and portion it out? If you freeze cake portions it keeps it out of sight but it’s satisfying to eat and may be less than other options?Morning. Up slightly again this week 59.6 (was 59.4 last week). Earlier in the week was a bit lower (58.8) so fluctuating a bit, but trend is a concern. Ketones 0.9 (were 1.0 so no big change there).
Carb intake is fine so think need to look at quantities of cream/almond butter/high cocoa chocolate and see what that does. Far too easy to overeat all of those.
@shelley262 congrats on finding the right balance and have a wonderful holiday.

Well done @Goonergal - not looking forward to my weigh in after my hols on Monday morning! I’ve definitely eaten more re quantities will see what the reckoning is like! Mind you done lots of walking and swimming but bgs have been higher generally.Morning. Dropped almost a kilo this week - 0.9kg - so down to 58.7, which is midway of my range.
Putting it down to removing all sweeteners and dessert like things from my diet. I definitely get sweet cravings after eating, especially in the evening, but hopefully they’ll reduce over time.
Also pretty much carnivore aside from 1 salad and a few almonds here and there. Feeling good on it, but interesting that despite total carb intake for the week of 54.4g, ketones remained at 0.9.
