im am brand new to checking my blood sugar levels (I'm not diagnosed diabetic) for the purpose of understanding how my food effects my hunger/ satiety. I've been low carb for a little over 2 months. I keep my carbs below 50 grams per day (usually theyre close to 35-45).
I never expected to see a high fasting bs reading when I began this excitement but after 5 days of tracking I can now see my early morning fasting level is avg 112!! Here is my data:
I wake with an above normal bs level (is this borderline pre diabetic??) what interesting it goes down from there through the day. Clearly I'm not having sugar spikes because my after meal readings are good. I'm wondering if my fasted level warrants a trip to my doctor or are there things I could try to bring it down on my own? My protein is about 80 grams, is that too high? My fat is always close to 125.
Everything I read says I should be in the 70-80 range for Bs.
I'm 10-15 pounds overweight. Also note I've only lost 3.5 pounds in the 2.5 months. I've kept my calories around 1600 most days. Should I try eliminating dairy?? I'm not giving up on the weight loss goal but I want to figure this bs out.
