Hi all, i am following a time-restricted eating pattern with low carb. I started with a window for eating of 10 hours, progressively to only 6 hours. It seems to work quite well, perhaps worked too well
Yesterday, after a nice bout of exercise, I tested myself, I ate like too much cherry pie -way above the 75grams of carbs of the diabetes test (It was like 200grams, 100 grams of carbs).
I had the freestyle libre continuous glucose monitor, and was willing to walk as soon as finishing.
But I was tired from exercise. So, I took a soft nap for 20 minutes. I focused on a deeeep relaxation. Glucose did not go up.
Then I waited for another 20 minutes, willing to go out as soon as I saw the glucose going up. NOTHING.
I continue relaxing, with a sort of internal satisfaction that my digestion was so slow. An hour later, a very small peak, like 20 points more. I tested with stripes and it was a very similar value than the libre. Today the libre is still working fine.
To finish: the freestyle libre only showed a peak of 20mg/dL or 1 mmol/L. For the next three hours, it was not peak at all.
Is that possible? I mean, I know that whenever the sympathic system is turned off, glucose might go down, but that much??????
Have anyone else have a great day without clear explanation?
