Blood sugars

I'm perplexed !

visited a positive living weekend arranged by cancer research and met a nice lady who influenced me with starving cancer.

I never had a sweet tooth so reducing or eliminating sugars from my diet was easy.

i reduced carbs as reasonably possible and bought supplements like Berberine and rhodiola to further enhance my bodies acceptance of glucose.

i had no knowledge of my prior blood levels as I never monitored them.

ive since bought a monitor and am depressed by my readings.

id hoped for levels of 5.0 -6.0 but am disappointed by levels of high -6.7 + am before breakfast and 6.0+ at bedtime.

i spike after eating my evening meal 17.00 - 18.00 to an 9.0 !

cabbage n broccoli soup or a tuna sandwich 

am I expecting too much of my blood sugar levels ?

researched on the internet and expected 5.0 !!

  • Hello Richardofieldman,

    It's great that you want to improve your diet, but it sounds like it becoming counterproductive if it's making you miserable. It can be tempting to look for answers online, but this can end up increasing anxieties rather than making you feel better. If you're worried about anything it's best to speak to your doctor.

    I hope that helps,
