Make sure that low carbs doesn’t mean low fibre as well?
Make sure that low carbs doesn’t mean low fibre as well?I always get a 10 or an 11 in the morning despite being low carb under 50g a day but often much less. No carbs with my last meal of the day, no eating after 8pm and rarely eat breakfast before 9.30 am. I was controlling BG well during the day but recently its all over the place. I walk a lot, drink water and do as much as I can. Still diet only after 5 years but worry that at my next review my DN will suggest Metformin. Do you have any other tips I can try?
Could well be worth starting a thread outlining where those carbs come from and any changes to routine, meds or other factors - stress, bugs, poor sleep etc so more members could offer opinions/insights. Maybe a passing mod could help?I always get a 10 or an 11 in the morning despite being low carb under 50g a day but often much less.

Have you taken advantage of the Freestyle Libre 2 free sample? It might prove insightful.I always get a 10 or an 11 in the morning despite being low carb under 50g a day but often much less.

Lucky you don’t have my DE who wants my fasting BG to be in the 7s or 8s rather than the 6sI am back in the sixes but I just wonder if I will ever be in the 5s on morning wake up readings. Just a bit fed up of it sometimes especially when I am working so hard to stay above water, well that is what it feels like.
