Hello!
I’d love to know if anyone else is in my boat:
I am a mid fifties male. Diabetes was picked up on a health screen with A1C of 56 mmol. After 3 months on a Keto diet it, is back in the pre diabetic range and my weight is pretty much optimal with est. 12% body fat. My fasting glucose via CGM is good but post prandial spikes are sizeable if I try even small amounts of carbs. I am exercising and doing resistance training regularly.
Liver and Pancreas were MRIed and all good. Diabetes screen from the endocrinologist shows no real problems: no markers for type1 and Dr. does not think I am insulin resistant based on that screen.
So, not Type1, or classic Type2 (as far as I can tell) . Fasting glucose and ability to tolerate carbs do appear very sensitive to cortisol levels: much better when relaxed and well rested. I would say I don't generally tolerate stress that well.
I’d love to hear from any one who has experience of this pattern, but also to know if it's unusual or not.
Best Regards, Yoggy.
