I had gestational diabetes though it went away post birth. So once ds was six months I decided to low carb. Have lost half a stone in three weeks. Enjoying the challenge. Usually skip breakfast as can't find a low carb breakfast I like but then have an early lunch.
Anyway still have blog sugar test strips and needles left from pregnancy so occasionally take my blood sugar out of curiosity. My fasting blood sugar is really high. On pregnancy I was told it should be under 5.5 when you wake up. But it is routinely 6 something. Today I went back to bed after being up for an hour at 6am. Had nothing to eat or drink. But at 9.30am blood sugar was 7.7 which is really really high. Is this normal? Should I worry? Am losing weight and not as hungry on this diet as blood sugar def stabilised without bread and chocolate etc but seems my blood sugar is going crazy.
