[QUOTE="Glink, post: 1753450, member: 254742"] I'm allergic to milk and soy, so cheese, cream, butter, and mayo (most have soy in them) are not part of my diet. I'm not trying to lose or gain weight, just stay healthy as possible. My morning readings, which when I started with LC diet would be in the 4' or low 5's, are around 7 these days. 2h later it's more like high 5's. I don't know if it matters that my actual waking numbers are increasingly diabetic, if my later-morning fasting #s are still prediabetic. By the numbers all of those readings seem not that bad, but I seem to develop symptoms at lower levels than many--it's the only reason I was diagnosed, actually. Nothing else would explain the symptoms I was having a few years ago (thirst, frequency, fatigue, blurry vision, irritability) so they tested my sugars, which were surprisingly high for a thin, fit, 30-something. When I went LC and got the sugars down to normal, the symptoms went away. I suspect that until things went haywire my "normal" was quite low--in fact years back I had been told I experienced hypoglycemia and should always carry nuts with me when I drove. (I have literally never had a reading below 4.1 since I have been testing, so hypo of any sort seems not to be the issue anymore!) I've been testing again, not all the time, but in the morning and when I feel weird, and these fasting readings range from high 5's to low 9's. Again, not terrible, but it seems likely that these are the culprits. Sounds like there aren't really any answers to my question (and heaven knows my GP will have no clue) so I guess I'll just ride this out and see what happens. Hopefully things will magically improve. (It wouldn't be the first time things seemed to go off the rails but somehow righted again.) [/QUOTE]
