Diabetic many years and keto helped in the past but now it seems it doesn't anymore. I'm not strict keto but always come back to it for my hba1c which is due in a couple of months. After one week my BG doesn't come down below 10. Anyone else had this problem ?

This doesn’t answer your question, however I have to ask, why do you only do keto when your HbA1c is approaching?

Several reasons - single parent and my daughter wouldn't eat keto; it's not a social diet i.e if I go out I'm very limited to where I can go; I have a sweet tooth as most of us have if we're truthfull. Also I like a variety of food i.e Thai, Indian, Mexican etc. If I lived on my own and didn't go out it would be alot easier.

I don’t know for sure, but I do wonder if this flip flopping between keto and non keto is making it difficult to regain control of your blood sugars this time, I don’t know for sure but I just wonder.
I have however found this thread which may help you when you eat out. After the first couple of posts there is a lot of advice about eating out.
