HelloShare what you've eaten today with the rest of the DCUK community and maybe steal a few ideas for yourself!
Please remember that this is the 'Low Carb Diet Forum' and that this thread isn't for low carb debates
Hi perhaps there was something in the Devon air, my blood glucose readings were a little bit higher than normal yesterday, and again this morning, however I also had readings that were more like my normal ones so not sure what the cause was/isEvening all, hope you've all enjoyed your Bank Holiday.
Having some weird blood sugars today. Started off at 5.7 which was fine but after lunch went up to 6.8 despite only having 6g carbs. Don't know if it's just the heat today or dehydration or what, but that was a shock.

I weigh some things but not everything, this is very controlled though, wish I had the timeDo you seriously weigh all your foods?
Hi all, happy Tuesday.
Feeling a bit down today as my morning blood sugars always seem to be high (upwards of 7). Always puts me on a downer to start the day. Not to mention every time I step on the scales, nothing changes..... Feeling a bit demotivated by everything. Considering trying out the Newcastle diet soon to see if that helps.

Only one meal today as wanted to experiment with whether going to bed with a low sugar reading (currently 5.3) lowers my morning sugars.
Hi @vanillapie hope this mornings bg is closer to what you want but do remember it’s always the last one to come down. It took many of us months to see this one drop and even now it can do really odd things. Most important thing is to work out a method that suits you and keep going. Good sleep and lowering stress levels I find are equally important. I’ve just had a week or two with high levels due to stress and infection for example.Hi all, happy Tuesday.

Hi @vanillapie feel for you. Hope you have a good day today stick with it - you will get there.@shelley262 @DJC3 Thanks both for your kind words. Morning reading of 7.7 this morning so can only assume dawn phenomenon is playing silly beggars. Maybe I am just expecting too much too soon. I'm getting a little sick of only really being able to eat mainly meat and cheese and I just had a bit of a down day feeling like 'what's the point'. I'm sure I'll pick myself back up!
Cappachino and 2 pieces of seeded toast and margarine..... and
tested bloods 6.0 before meal and 2 hours later 10.6... just swapped to Victoza pen 1 week ago and have upped the dose from 0.6 to 1.2mg...
I am experimenting with foods but finding it difficult to eat small and often... but when I have a good meal I fall asleep and wake up with nausea... any advice or anyone else experiencing similar symptoms?
Actually, if I had two slices of seeded toast I would probably have a similar hike in blood glucose and fall asleep afterwards - it is why I stopped eating toast.
I just cut my carbs down gently and carefully, while testing carefully, until my blood glucose stayed in range. The toast had to go. Also the potatoes, rice, pasta and fruit. But it made me feel so much better that I was glad to give them up.
