So just a general question based on the results of some blood glucose testing after eating....been gaining some weight (stupid boredom, covid, etc) and I really need to get back to behaving again....
Trying to gather some solid baselines, I'll eat a meal that I consider low carb/keto friendly...something (example) like a meat dish, cream sauce, some spinach etc. Everything on the "keto" or "low carb" menu in general.
I'll take a blood glucose reading every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours (at least until I start to see it dropping), and usually around the 2 hour mark I'll peak at around 7.0....sometimes creeps to 7.4....rarely higher than that.
Is that on target for both weight loss, increasing insulin sensitivity etc? How do you know how low to go? I cannot seem to find anything related to target levels...
Does something like a 7.4 take you out of ketosis (assuming you were in it to begin with). If I am following this eating pattern every day, is this the right path?
