PS: I missed a couple meals today due to my work schedule. View the Summary to see the caloric deficit and macro results. I suspect I’ll be hungry in the morning.

Note: This was an interesting overnight experience related to IF. See here for a discussion.
PS: I got in 3 meals today, but still ended up 600 calories short of my daily target. I had planned to drink a creamy bone broth nightcap when I got home, but couldn’t get out of Walmart soon enough to do so. Crazy busy today. Managed to hit my fat/protein macros bang on and carbs just a smidgen more than 5 grams. I finished my last meal at work at 18:30 so I’ll get in another 14 - 15 hour fast by the time I have my morning keto coffee.
Fascinating. I also just purchased the same meter from Shoppers in Lynn Valley.
I will be reading your thread in far greater detail and with keen interest when I have more time, i.e. at work, LOL. It will be interesting to compare our results, since I was pre-diabetic, believe I am still strongly insulin resistant and my carb consumption is less controlled than yours. Certainly my morning glucose bumps up higher than yours in the morning.
PS with a BG of less than 3.5 most Doc’s would have a heart attack and immediately send you to hospital. The power of ketones!

@amwassil - since you’re at the end of the 14 day life of the sensor, do you feel like getting another to try more things or do you think you’re done? Did you learn what you wanted to learn?
(Disclaimer - I think I recall someone saying it’s a 14 day life) 
@CFLBob The sensor indeed has a 14-day lifespan and it costs me $100 at my local London Drugs. I intend to purchase again, but not immediately. I want to investigate whether I can purchase at a cheaper price elsewhere.
I have a few other things in mind to try. For one, I would like to try to correlate the glucose with my Lumen, to see if that is any more useful than my attempt to correlate BrAce with the Lumen.

Interesting device, really. I tried (not too hard) to open it but failed. The two halves are apparently solidly glued together, which I expected given that it’s designed to survive underwater. Although the three indentations around the perimeter suggest it may be ‘screwed and glued’…
Is that one of the CGM sensors? The big white thing looks a little like a power outlet. Hard to tell scale.
This gets satisfyingly technical about 4 minutes in.
If you will forgive me for not looking back at all your data, how soon after a meal does the effect show up on the monitor?
@OldDog Each daily update includes a link to the glucose plot for the full day starting at 00:00. It also includes a list of the times for each meal. You can thus open the glucose plot and look at the meal times. The rise and fall aren’t much. I suspect that caffeine causes the most rise very soon after ingestion. I notice this for all my morning coffee times and those midday or evening meals at work where I’ve had a Red Bull or a Coke Zero rather than a Bubly. Interestingly, Coke Zero seems to cause a bigger rise than Red Bull. Both contain aspartame and Red Bull contains more caffeine. So there’s something else in coke. Nothing dramatic, though.
Hey Michael,
Which plot shows your response to Coke Zero? I have not done any specific tests, but I cannot see much response on my CGM to this drink.
Any ideas as to why the sensor only lasts 2 weeks. In-built obsolescence or batter life do you think?
I had a surprising result recently. I was informed, unreliably as it turns out, that Smart Sweets were keto friendly because of their low sugar content, i.e. 3 g of sugar in a 50 g portion with no sugar alcohols. The total carbs were high at 33 g however a large proportion was fiber at 28 g which suggested the net carbs would be relatively low. However, as you can see from my CGM below the Smart sweets sure did spike my blood glucose pretty damn good, way more than the 45 g of carbs I consumed in a Timmies sausage wrap for breakfast. I guess the soluble fiber was also readily digestible.
Just goes to show, if you don’t test, you don’t know.
