Can I Have Perfect BS and In Ketosis and Still Be IR?


(Tina Emmons) #1

Hi All, first day here. Have 50+ pounds to lose, no health issues I know of. Been 100% keto for 8 weeks, not losing but thanks to 2KD, know I’m heading for fat adaptation and losing! I can not seem to find the answer to this question: My heredity, history and symptoms would point to me being IR but I slip into ketosis just fine and stay there and my BS is perfect 24/7. I thought this would indicate I’m NOT IR. With these being true, can I still be IR? I’m hoping that’s all I’m battling here with my “deranged” metabolism! Thanks!

Elevated glucose is a later and more obvious sign of ‘deranged’ metabolism. Anyone on SAD is at risk for IR and messed up metabolism. I was overwieght most of my adult life (and I’ve been around awhile :blush:) and never had elevated blood sugar result. But I certainly knew my metabolism wasn’t right.
This helps to explain.

Don’t be worried - if you weren’t having any other health effects you’re well on the way from preventing any more and correcting any quiet ones that were simmering under the surface.
