Hi
When I first started lowish carb, my morning readings were low to mid 5s, these have gradually crept up to high 5s or low 6s. My BG then drops at +2 after my midday meal, then rises again about 3 or more hours after eating my last meal, which has been 4 crisp breads (28g total carb), with butter, and a couple of small eggs, to mid 7s.
About an hour after my dinner at midday, ( about 3oz lean chicken, carrot, spinach and brocoli), I did 10 mins on the bike to get the heart working etc, then spent the rest of the afternoon gardening. Why are these readings creeping up? I don't think I can cut down much more.
At least I am not getting any more of those horrible spikes, which is good. The numbers aren't particularly bad, but I had hoped that they might have been better. How low would I have to go to get a 4.5 in the morning and maybe the highest reading of 5.5? I haven't lost any weight either, don't really need to, but there is a bit of spare that could go.
Any ideas appreciated.
Haven't been able to do a GTT as can't find any Lucozade - hopefully one of our friends will bring some out.
