Hi all,
Just so you know I have not officially been diagnosed with Diabetes. I am into healthy living and started a low carb diet about a 6 months ago. I first started with Carnivore and then after about 3 months started transitioning into Keto. I have lost 10kg of body weight. I am fairly active and do to resistance gym sessions a week and 2 cardio sessions a week. Then we hike and walk the dogs for another 1 to 3 days a week.
I recently got myself the freestyle Libre 2 sensor to track my blood glucose just out of interest to see what my glucose is doing when eating, drinking coffee etc. I am quite interested in insulin and I know there is a link but its not the same thing. Insulin resistance could be completely out of wack and I may not pick it up with the glucose monitor right?
So having seen my results for the past two days using the Libre 2, I have noticed that my glucose drops to about 3 mmol/l (55 mg/dl) while sleeping. See graphs below. I am not 100% sure how to interpret this but from what I read online it seems that I may be suffering from hypoglycemia while sleeping? Any advice from what you can see below and taking into consideration that I am on a low carb high (good) fat diet.
For reference, the limits are set to 3.9 to 6 mmol/l. Thats the green band in the graph.
At around 7:30 I had my first cappuccino and 30 mins later another one.
Thanks in advance. If you need any other information please let me know.
