I am now at the end of week 5 of the BSD on 800 cals a day. I have lost 14lbs and I do feel better. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing rising fast Blood sugars. My regular morning BS tests were going well and gradually reducing going as low as 5.9 by the end of week 3. Since then they have gradually risen and are running at around 6.4 to 6.8. I have not strayed from the content of the med style diet and I eat very well. I do go over my 800 calories fairly regularly but only by about 100 cals or so. I can’t understand the rise in BG levels. I have heard that diet coke and caffeine can have an adverse affect. Does anyone else have this problem and has anyone any comments or advice.
