Hi everyone, I had a fasting BG of 201 on 10/1/16. My doctor ordered further test for A1c levels which resulted in 6.9.

About two days after this test, coincidentally, I had a gastric balloon inserted and began a VLCHP eating plan with TINY meals (because that's all I can fit).

On 11/19/16 my A1c was retested and it was 5.9.

Since then I also got a glucometer (extra one my dad had) and have been periodically checking my BS.

A friend from my balloon support group mentioned that she fasts on Sundays and had some reasons why and I thought what the heck, why not. So today I fasted... Now let me also mention that my BS has been really good, morning levels have been around 95. And I didn't eat anything I shouldn't have yesterday.

I checked my BS this morning around 10 and it was 114. Which was really weird I thought. Then I checked it again at 6:00 pm and it was 128!

How on earth could it be going UP when I am fasting?????

Help. (also, I'm not interested in a lecture about fasting... not sure I'll do it again anyway... just trying out different things).
