Hi, I’m new here so please bear with ne
I’m really stuck on what I am doing wrong.
I’ve been following a low carb diet, not loosing any weight, and what I can’t understand is that when I take my BS at about 5pm they have shot up to 17!!! And I have had no carbs.
Next day had 1piece of toast and they were 11mmols.
What am I doing wrong please 🤔
Hi, thanks for your post. I know it can be so frustrating when you are trying so hard and the figures can be confusing. I'm afraid that my reply is going to be more questions than answers. Your diabetes team would gather information to build a picture around your general background, how long you have been diagnosed with diabetes, what type of diabetes you have, if and what medication you are taking, both for your diabetes and in general and when you are taking them. If you have any other medical conditions or any other issues, your sleep quality and patterns It's also important to have a full picture of what and when you are eating and drinking and when and what activity you have had. I'm sure you are not doing anything 'wrong' at all but it can appear complicated so what I would strongly advise is to have a chat with your diabetes team who, I'm sure will be able to help you make sense of your blood glucose readings and help you to feel more confident and in control.
Thank yoe, will do
