Okay, so I have been testing, testing, testing for over a month now. I have cut my carbs to approx. 50g per day. Yesterday was only 35g carbs for the whole day. I had two hard boiled eggs and a small piece of cheese for breakfast. I had half a salmon salad sandwich for lunch on whole grain bread that is only 17g of carbs per slice. I had a fat free yogurt for my afternoon snack. 4 oz. of beef steak and grilled asparagus for supper. Cheese and a small piece of ham sausage for bedtime snack. My number this morning was 8.9! I am also taking 500mg metformin 3 x daily. I have lost 15lbs in the last month and am drinking minimum 8 glasses of water per day and exercising as much as I can with working a full time job.
I can't seem to get that morning number, or any numbers for that matter, below 7.5 to 9.0.
What am I doing wrong????? I am so frustrated!! And I am hungry all the time. I have no potatoes, rice, pasta, refined sugars, etc. It's been over a month since I have had any of that.
FYI.....went to a birthday party for my hubby a couple of weeks ago, had a small piece of birthday cake in the evening, and my morning number was 6.3. Go figure!!!!!! First and only time I've seen that kind of number in the morning.
