You have a bmi of 17.9. Your blood protein is likely low because you're in a chronically underfed state, not because of your day to day protein intake being low. Your body protein stores are low. Worrying about keeping your protein low enough to avoid processing it into glucose right now is not only wrong, but dangerous. Eating less protein to increase your blood protein isn't going to work, and will do harm.



The only cure for being chronically underfed is being chronically properly fed.

This is assuming there isn't some endocrine problem leading to weight loss. Has your insulin been measured? Maybe those elevated blood glucose numbers weren't a faulty meter, after all. Is your doctor just assuming that you're undereating, or has he checked to see whether there might be some hormonal backdrop to all this?
