Snap, looks like I very slightly over corrected for a hypo. Found a new sensation when going hypo.
First time in years meet some friends for a drink, did a couple of checks during the night and readings were high at 11.8 at 10 pm 😱 at 11 pm they were 8.5 still high though slowly coming down.
Only had 1 pint of larger all night, around midnight felt a bit wobbly on my feet and decided to go home, a short walk. Tested and was 3.3 😱
In the space of just over an hour dropped over 5 points on the scale. 😡
Did 4 days on the same diet to test early morning levels. Before breakfast readings were within the range 4.9 to 5.3. Breakfast was 2 cups coffee with 40g porridge using Koko milk. The interesting aspect is the effect of 15 mins exercise (on a bike). On days 1 & 2 the 2 hour postprandial reading fell. The exercie was taken 1 hour after breakfast. Days 3 and 4, when there was no exercise before the postprandial reading, the readings went up. However, 15 mins exercise subsequently reduced these elevated readings by the time of a 3 hour postprandial reading.
Readings before breakfast, 2 hours after, 3 hours after (days 3 & 4)
Day 1: 5.0; (15 min exercise); 4.6
Day 2: 5.3; (15 min exercise); 4.3
Day 3: 5.1; 5.6; (15 min exercise); 4.5
Day 4: 4.9; 5.5; (15 mins exercise); 4.6
Readings before breakfast, 2 hours after, 3 hours after (days 3 & 4)
Day 1: 5.0; (15 min exercise); 4.6
Day 2: 5.3; (15 min exercise); 4.3
Day 3: 5.1; 5.6; (15 min exercise); 4.5
Day 4: 4.9; 5.5; (15 mins exercise); 4.6
Morning all
@ yorksman
these numbers are perfect , well done !
Sadly my readings are a bit different and I know why now.

I believe I have an "Sports" injury . My right hipp hurts since a few weeks . I reduce my sports activity a little but it hasn't change . My BG reading
keep telling me something is going on .
I will stop Sports for a while , increase my insulin and if it doesn't chance I have to see a doctor .

Well, type 2s on diet only don't really have to worry about hypos so eating no carbs means that BG levels are low without having to worry about it going too low. Plenty of fat around the middle for my body to convert. I do eat carbs though, I just stick to complex carbs and try to be careful about the amount I eat.
Injuries are a pain, if you'll forgive the pun. I have osteoarthritis which limits walking so I row and cycle on an exercise bike. That can hurt my back which is weak and when that goes, which it occasionally does, I'm useless for a week or so. I got some high rise handlebars for the bike which help a lot but otherwise yes, I agree, you are constantly chasing problems and, whatever solution you come up with, there's another, new, resultant problem. Still, we don't have poisonous insects and snakes, animals that see you as food, we don't get major earthquakes or tsunamis and there's little danger from volcanos and hurricanes, so life in the low carb lane seems a little dull really. I won't complain if I die bored, excitement is overated.
