[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2057146, member: 501623"] I read on the diet doctor website that OPTIMAL blood glucose is between 4 (72) and low 5s (100) with no more than a 2mmol rise after eating, then back down to 5 mmol (90) or below between meals and when fasting. While 6s (106 - 125) are still classed as normal, it's up to you whether you are happy knowing a lower number is optimal. Higher fasting while eating low carb is common but probably because those of us with a certain level of insulin resistance and livers a little fuller with sugars have more to let go of during fasting. As long as your other post meal daytime numbers are stable, then I believe higher fasting levels are nothing to worry about. If I spiked to 220 after any meal though, I would rethink that combination of food and opt for a lower amount of carbs, or very limited carbs to avoid those kind of numbers. [/QUOTE]
