Morning All. 7.0 today so getting closer to the “sticky 6s’ or so I hope. Have a good day everyone.
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.
