[QUOTE="Starfish18, post: 2075460, member: 497641"] Its almost 5 months since I was diagnosed and Ive been LCHF since but my levels have been very up and down during that time and I have asked for advise before so almost 4 weeks ago I started intermittent fasting 18/6 so after evening meal at 18.00 I eat nothing until lunch time the next day (12.00) apart from a coffee with 30g of double cream at 06.30 before work each day. At first my levels dropped straight away and I was starting to see high 4s before food and Low 6s after food. I was so pleased but a week ago my levels started to rise now I'm seeing high 6s/low 7s before food and I've even been 9.2 after food, nothing at all as changed with my diet, a typical days food for me is 06.30 decafe coffee with 30g of double cream 12.00 L tuna mayo, 2 x spring onions, 4 x cherry Tomatoes, few peppers, pack of pork scratchings. Decafe coffee with 30g of double cream 18.00 D homemade chicken BLT with mayo and sf Jelly with double cream with black tea. I drink water though out the day Yesterday I felt very low and emotional and had been awake since 3am so my levels were higher (thats when i saw the 9.2 after food - not a spike) I don't seem to be harbouring a bug, don't seem to be any more stressed than usual walking 5-6 miles a day with work. I've tried new test strips and get same readings so I'm stumped. I've stopped counting carbs but when I was having 3 meals I was having roughly about 25-30 carbs a day. I've stopped snacking. What could I try next? I'm finding my journey is a roller-coaster :bag::( Eta I am diet only [/QUOTE]
