Kristin251 thank you for replying, I had cut my carbs and fat too and I think that was the problem I went LCLF instead of LCHF!! And sent my body into a spin! This morning after basically not eating all day yesterday until 6 then eating a steak and salad with 1 new potato lol I woke up to 5.6! Yayyyy and then 2 hrs after lunch 6.4 so I'm on the right track but need to see doc for sure! Thanks again
I find I need to eat some fat with all meals and snacks or even the tiny bit of carbs I eat and small amounts of protein turn to bs very quickly. If I have some avocado, mayo, olive oil,butter etc with meals it slows and lowers any spike. I go up slow and come down slow but the spike is always lower than if I don't eat some fat. You don't need to gob it but some on your salad and have a few nuts after you eat. Not a palm ful but 3'or 4. I'm sure the steak had some fat so that is good. I always think if I eat leaner proteins like white fish or white turkey I need a little additional fat and if I eat fattier, denser food like steak, salmon, dark chicken I need a little less additional fat.
Glad you're doing better!!!! It's all trial and error and everyone's experiences are useful information for things to look for.
I, like chalup would continue to rise without eating. I could skip lunch but I need that insulin in the morning. Today I was doing a test to see when my insulin started lowering me at BF because I always rise after 2.5 hours. Well it didn't start lowering me for over two hours!!! That just showed me how much hormones waking up in the morning effect my bs. What I got out of it was that my insulin was only covering my food or my hormone rise but not both which is why I go high at 2.5 hours. Insulin gone. Experiment to continue....
To continue, when I was type 2 if I didn't eat a small fat snack in between meals I would rise as well. I had to eat a few nuts or some LC veggies and just enough to provoke an insulin response but not raise bs. If I was a bit higher than I liked I'd have a mushroom ore 1 piece of broccoli and within 20 min I started going lower.
Hope that helped or at least gave you some things to play with and watch for. ...
