what weird old things our bodies are.. how low carb are you? I tend to aim for as few as possible.
Very low, I'm one meal a day, have been most of my life.
On my journey here I have found that I'm very insulin resistant until around lunchtime so I survive on hot drinks and water all day and then eat around 7pm where I can pretty much eat most things without massive spikes. A heavy carb meal will peak at around 8.5 but it's short lived, no longer than 15 mins over 8.
If I eat even 5g carbs in the morning it pushes me up at least 3.0 yet the same, 5g in the evening has little to no effect.
I'm sure a lot of it has been contributed to by my once a day eating ritual all my working life.
My numbers are improving considerably as a result of this fast though.
I went to bed at 4.8 last night, woke up at 5.5, which rose to 7 almost immediately and then came down to around 5.5, where it has sat pretty much all day today. It's now starting to drop to high fours which ties in with my insulin resistance during the day theory.
Under my old regimen, I'd be in the sixes all day, rising to nearer 7 as evening approached.
So, I'm making progress, not sure what to make of it but the numbers don't lie I guess.
