Fasting vs. Postprandial Glucose


(EJ) #1

What would be going on when my glucose waking up in the morning is at about the same level as my 2 hour postprandial readings? Typical morning reading is 100-120 and my 2 hour readings are almost always in the same range. I am in ketosis and normally 0.8 to 2.0 for blood ketones.

I started my keto lifestyle after my last blood work showed me with fasting glucose in the pre-diabetes range @ 113 and triglycerides at 409. I haven’t noticed my fasting glucose fall much while doing keto with pretty consistent 24 hour fasts. I’m discouraged by my fasted glucose, but encouraged by my post prandial numbers. Does this qualify me as insulin resistant? Is there more I can do?
