Hello all. Am a bit late posting today. Had a bout of pretty bad migraines last night until 6 a.m.(work stress related, but fortunately extremely rare for me) and slept in today.
Blood sugars were 4.8 upon getting up at 11 a.m.
@heavyd and
@ianpspurs -- I observe the same thing, when I exercise (usually quite strenuous cardio), my blood sugars go up by about 2 mmol. They then slowly come down within the next two hours to pre-exercise levels. A year ago, they dropped more significantly -- sometimes into the 3s after about 1 hour, but this doesn't happen any longer. Maybe because my muscles now primarily use ketones. It does help with insulin sensitivity though and I tend to see lower numbers in general, so probably worth keeping up.
@Ymdawd -- great low fasting levels today. This is wonderful. Well done.
@eggs11 -- Great result. Congrats. I am so happy for you.
@dogslife and
@ickihun -- Big hugs from me.
@Goonergal -- I've generally observed a similar effect of too much protein (especially at night) on morning blood sugar levels. So, I think this would be quite typical. Did you see this talk by Ben Bikman at LowCarb Breckenridge on the effect of protein on insulin in the context of a low carb diet. I found this talk extremely fascinating.

For all those of you interested in insulin resistance, this is another really fascinating interview with Ben Bikman. I have learned a lot watching this.
