Anyone out there having issues with high blood sugar readings? I’ve been on keto for three weeks and have been consuming 20 or less grams of carbs and no sugar, etc. This am my blood sugar was 128! This is after not eating since 4pm the following day and strictly adhering to the keto diet. I read about dawn phenomenon but have never had these high readings previously. My keto readings this am were 0.3. previously had readings of 0.5, 0.7, 1.0,0.9. Do these readings mean I’m in ketosis? thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.

T2 here. I take my blood sugar readings at night before bedtime, at least 4 hours after having last eaten, and in the morning when I get up. My morning reading is typically 10 to 20 points higher than the previous night. My readings at night are more consistent from day to day than my morning readings.

Three weeks isn’t very long when it comes to changing basal insulin levels. It will take months to turn the insulin resistance ship around.
For some folks, a LC diet isn’t sufficient. Implementing a fasting regime is required to fix their metabolism. My postprandial BG over the past year has improved dramatically as a result of fasting.
