Sugar spikes

Any belly bloat or IBS type symptoms? These could indicate chronic pancreatitis.

Hi Bori.  Well, you've got two bases covered here, you're measuring your BG and you're getting the right kind of exercise.  How's your diet, are you counting carbs and limiting per-meal carbs, avoiding snacks, avoiding sugar and white bread?

And of course, are you on any meds?  Sometimes you can do everything right but you need some meds, from just a little metformin, through a bunch of different pills and injections, right up to insulin.  Don't want to let that 200 go on too long.

Have you talked to a doctor about it?

Medical procedures, almost any break in routine, can also spike your BG for days or even weeks until it returns to normal.

If you're diabetic you can't cheat the diet and expect your BG to be good.  Metformin is not a license to pig out.  Wish it was! 

See if you can stick to a carb count for just two or three days, and see if that doesn't work wonders.  Doesn't even have to be so low, my endo had me on 60-75 carbs PER MEAL and it worked fine, though with other meds.  I'm still doing more like 50-70 carbs/meal now, with just 500 metformin twice a day.  That's a good sandwich and a small salad, easily, it's not that tough.

I can certainly recommend a low carb diet. My husband and son are on a low keto diet and I have joined them, although I still eat a few carbs.  I have cut out bread and potatoes and have been eating lots of salads with cheese, fish or meat and have only been on the diet for two weeks but can definitely see a difference in my sugar levels. Instead of them going up and down, especially after eating carbs, my levels are lower than they usually are and without so many peaks and troughs.  I haven't needed to give myself any quick acting insulin after meals and the two long acting  injections I give myself have needed to be reduced .  Before the diet I would eat a cooked meal and half an hour or so later would feel like snacking but eating more protein stops me feeling hungry so worth a try for anyone who wants to control their blood sugar as well as losing  weight. 

Have you tried the protein bars from Costco? It’s the “Kirkland  Signature” Brand of protein bars. They are made with the natural sweetener, stevia  and have 21g of protein, 15g of fibre and I think 3g of sugar. I have been living off of those bars, spinach and egg whites. Still at 200+. Could be stress, hormones, illness, I don’t know, but being a control freak, this high sugar isn’t working for me either! LOL
