Hello al,
I am doing LCHF and am observing a daily pattern of high-- 200 or so--FBS. After eating a cheese stick and almond milk-- they numbers tend to rise by 20 to 30 points.
By noon, when I have a lunch with some more fats and proteins, the numbers will start goibg down--the lowest I have gotten them to go is about 150.
Then after dinner, they are in 150 to 180 range.
I eat a small snack b4 bed.
Same thing happens
I take 200o Metformin ER w2x per day and exercise every other day.
Any idea how to break this pattern>

A peak at your diary would help.

Great, thanks!OK, I just made it public!
I'm not a doctor, but I'd recommend (from experience being bored with my diet) that you vary your plates and workout routine with your doctors' guidance. I see that you eat, drink and do the same old/very similar things daily. Your body's probably bored by now, and might not change unless you offer different stimuli. Try new LC foods/drinks/meal combos and learn a few fun exercises, like (if you're able) walking/jogging a new route, dancing, chores, biking and horseback riding. (The last three are my personal favorite fat-busters.) You'll be much healthier and a million times happier, I promise. Hope I helped!0 -
I am most concerned with my Fasting Blood sugars being high not lowering until the afternoon. Am I eating too many carbs and not enough fat?0

Again, I don't know enough to be trustworthy on the issue, but I see too much fat, with only a few carbs.I am most concerned with my Fasting Blood sugars being high not lowering until the afternoon. Am I eating too many carbs and not enough fat?
Oh, I made a mistake earlier. I mentioned my top 3 exercises. I like dancing, chores, hand-biking and horseback riding, for a total of 4 exercises. My sincerest apologies.0 -

I had to wait a while for my #s to come down.
I'm eating less carbs.
I don't eat extra food from exercising.
I watch my calories.
I keep from getting to much protein, that will raise my #s.
I use fats to get my calorie count close to my daily amount.
I find it hard to tell others what to do,
but I like showing them what works for me.
Anything you take away from that is great!
