I am type 2 diabetic and I’ve been doing a low carb diet for a few weeks. However, my fasting sugars are still above 120 (just like before the low-carb.) Can anyone tell me how long it will be until my sugars start stabling out?? I’m only 28 (diagnosed late last year) and I’m only about 15 pounds overweight, so I’ve changed my eating more for my health than for weight loss. (And please, no bashing on how bad a low-carb is for you… Thanks)
The effect would be immediate.
If you don’t eat carbs, there is nothing besides your body to create a blood sugar levels.
Low or no carb diets put a huge burden on the liver that then starts putting out more sugar that your body needs to function.Your sugar levels are now created solely by your liver.[ please don't consider this a bash- it isn't ]
You may need medication to deal with the sugar levels you are seeing now ?
Please check with your doctor and tell him/her what diet you are on.
Good luck .
