Hi all,
Can someone help me interpret these blood glucose results? I’ve noticed that I’m staying in ketosis at fairly high levels of carbs and decided to track after a meal to see what kind of effect it’s having on my blood glucose.
Ate 30g net cars (60 total), 60g of fat, 30g protein; time is in minutes post meal
T 0 - glucose 91 mg/dL, ketones 1.0 mmol/L
T 45 - glucose 104 mg/dL, ketones 1.4 mmol/L
T 75 - glucose 88 mg/dL, ketones 1.0 mmol/L
T 165 - glucose 111 mg/dL, ketones 0.8 mmol/L
I’m assuming the drop in glucose was an insulin response, but why is my glucose higher than starting glucose if my insulin responded? Could it be that some of the carbs (simple?) effected my blood glucose sooner than others (complex carbs?). Also I guess an insulin response doesn’t necessarily kick you out of ketosis?
Also I noticed fast heartbeat ~ 175 minutes post meal
Thanks for the help!
