2 years on LCHF and happy with progress. Off meds 20 Kg down.
I am pretty satisfied that my FBG in the mornings is now a steady 90 to 100 (5 to 5.6) so I am starting to use my meter at other times of the day. When I started with my meter I checked out what was good and bad for me and stick to the list as best I can and avoid spikes.
Today I started the day on 95 (5.2) and at 10 am broke my fast. Now I have not bought or eaten bread in a very long time so today I had 2 small slices of wholemeal bread with butter and bacon. I.E. a small bacon sandwich.
Figured I'd check the effect at the 90 minute mark, and was gobsmacked to see 211 (11.7)! I had similar past spikes when eating fresh fruit (which I don't now).
What does this tell me other than I still have diabetes?
