At a wild guess, could it simply be you're living in such a stressful environment, I doubt there's much 'relaxing' going on, even when you are relaxing
@Lamont D
A slight side note, but maybe relevant .
Many on the forum boast of 5 FBG, many go even lower .
While I am admittedly more lax in my lchf diet & approach right now (too many battles, etc)
Even when I was super tight and back at sub 40 HBA1c, I found anything below 5 fbg, made me feel off, ill, like something was badly wrong with me.
A most unpleasant feeling.
I could I suppose have simply tried to maintain it at sub 5, and likely got used to the feeling.
But as a case of "we are all unique" I found or decided that for me, sub 5 was sub optimal & the circa 5 fbg was my happy place.
Perhaps, circa 6 fbg, given the stress you are under on a daily basis is yours ...?
No doctor or scientist here, just a thought.
I think
@ianpspurs said something like "T2D" isn't the real or only enemy or similar.
A phrase that rang a bell.
Stressing over a number , we maybe can't reach, doesn't help us. And we might all be better served accepting being a little further from the danger zone, than if we didn't try, even if others manage to get further away than we can achieve, and accept where we land most often as being part of our natural terrain.
Just a thought .
Have you seen the carbs in laughter?
