Well, as someone else said elsewhere - you can try a bit of protein before bed - and again first thing in the morning rather than waiting for breakfast time after you've sorted yourself out - these are only 'bits' not meals. That might help stop the morning rise - but if that doesn't work then it probably needs help from elsewhere ie the doc.

All you can do is try.

Remember to be patient @am64 - don't get frustrated if things take a little while, all your efforts will be worth it! 🙂

I'm having home made red Thai chicken curry tonight am and you'll find poppudums only about 4 grams of carb each so you don't feel so deprived! I have one spoonful of rice just to appease myself and it usually works out ok.

It does take a while for your body to eliminate the effects of carbs and morning levels can be the hardest to reduce but it will happen with perseverance! Enjoy your curry! 🙂

 

[am64]

thank you Amigo we didn't order poppadoms but they often give us one free but.... i WILL be strong and avoid 😉

 

[Steff]

Sorry not been around to post so much recently but all going well in my quest to stay off the insulin and improve my BS. Cutting out all carbs has meant I am now in terms daily range of 7-8 ....I even had a prelunch of 6.2 yesterday !! Going to have Hba1c next week hopefully my results will be good !
