Hi - Type 2 and have to bring down my HbA1c from 78 or the diabetic nurse is going to put me on insulin, which I absolutely do not want. Sooo .... having another go at low carb, which is very difficult for a fussy eater like me. Just started 10 days ago and all going well. I've been pleased with my BG readings of around 7.5 before meals. I have even had a couple of 6.2 and one at 5.9, which were very encouraging. This morning I had breakfast about an hour and a half later than usual and my reading pre meal was 10.2 ! I thought it would be lower than usual because of the longer time between meals, not higher!
So discouraged by this and having to force myself not to go in the kitchen and eat something I shouldn't. Because what's the point of depriving myself if its not working? Sorry - just needed to rant. I will go back to my craft room and sew to keep myself busy and try not to think of food.
