Fasting glucose 52 too low?

(Carol Orrell) #1

Had my annual physical. Fasting blood glucose 52. My doctor was fine with it as she knows my ketogenic diet. Others had this low? I feel great.

In the podcasts it has been mentioned that ketoers without meds can easily go this low or even less. I don’t think it is uncommon because of that. I don’t take BG readings because I am not T2D. My husband is and that is why I started cooking and eating keto/lchf. If you aren’t dizzy etc. when it is that low, it is probably a sign of how healthy you are. Enjoy that.

When I did my last fast I hit 2.8mmol that is about 50. I didn’t feel any particular ‘symptoms’ or effects. I’m also non-diabetic and I test my own BG with a BG/Ketone unit and strips.

I go that low when I’m fasting (but it takes a few days).

If you feel great, then your ketones are probably supplying the rest and you’re doing fine!
