[QUOTE="Beating-My-Betes, post: 2393009, member: 532959"] Then yes...I'm curious about before-bed testing. Yesterday, I read through some of the pages of the morning fbg thread, noticed some before-bed testing and was just curious. That thread didn't seem like the right place to ask I don't test for meals because I'm very insulin-resistant. My before meal numbers are high, the rise exponential, and the comedown slower. I've also been sleeping badly for well over a year and like most people took an activity hit during lockdown. There is nothing worth knowing, for me, in all that morass. I will be using a repeatable 'meal', in lieu of an OGTT, that I can eat on a weekly basis to detect a loose trend in whether my body is responding better to carbs. Other than that I'm preparing to take morning fbg's at an early hour, and average the readings over the week. As for changing my ideas: Like I said, earlier, my readings would likely be telling me I should be zero-carb. That's wha insulin resistance would have me do, I guess. Still, until i've given a good blemish-free go at improving my insulin sensitivity, I'll keep plodding on. And this ain't about proving anything to anyone, or being stubborn I have my own reservations about the long-term health prospects of keto, but in terms of what I can quantify vegan keto is not a place I really want to be. Anything? [/QUOTE]
