I am aware (thanks to this forum) that a flu or a cold can raise BG. But for how many days/weeks one should expect higher or erratic BG after the cold or flu symptoms have disappeared? My BG was finally showing values below 80 mg/dL after months of effort (carnivore/no carb/low carb/moderately...

Fantastic help, thank you so very much, EllieM and Brunneria!!!

Hi, I've just started my first 36-hour fasting attempt. So I've decided to check my BG out on specific points. My very first meal of the day had 7g of carbs, I finished it at 2:00 P.M. The second and last meal before fasting had 4.4g of carbs and it ended at 6:00 P.M. I checked my BG at 7:00...

Thank you very much for the fantastic replies, folks! I am on my fourth day eating meat (and a little bit of hard cheese) only. I am doing it all within an hour per day, so I can have a 23:1 IF also. I was previously (for about 2 months) on a low carb diet (<20g of carbs), but after a month with...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but if someone (type 2) eats a meal that has only meat (0g carbs), will blood glucose still raise a little during the first couple of hours? I'm interested in carnivore and this is a doubt that came up.

During last year, my fasting blood glucose was getting higher and higher, sometimes above 115 mg/dL. Months before, I went to the lab and it was 97 mg/dL. I have a solid family history of mild to severe Type 2 and had a grand grand mother with Type 1. Hence, since last December I've decided to...

I have a doubt about Physiological Insulin Resistance or Adaptive Glucose Sparing, and I wonder if anyone could clarify it, please. Is Physiological IR related only with low carb diet and fasting, or it could happen also with 24-hour/36-hour intermittent fasting alone (with no low carb diet)?

Hi, I am a lean prediabetic (BMI = 20,2), my exams show no insulin resistance (HOMA-IR = 1.00) but they do suggest beta cell dysfunction (HOMA-Beta = 44.26). I am not taking medication now, my doctor said we should first try to get it all under control with lifestyle changes. I am going to the...

Thank you all for the great help and answers. I honestly thought that I wrote too much and would not get help. This is a great place! Also nice to know there are members with experience on being lean and have diabetes. I was a little disappointed that many books wouldn't go into that. Read...
