[QUOTE="Marco N Cognito, post: 158235, member: 13"] Been on a LCHF (50-55% fats, 35% protein, 10-15% carbs) diet for several years. Euglycemic up to now, never been dx'd as T2D or pre, although I carry several genetic variants that predispose me to it. My post-prandial blood glucose (PPBG) levels are normal, rarely exceeding 125 as are my a1c levels (4.9-5.3). Last fasting insulin was 3; HOMA-IR: 0.7. Even with a heavy carb meal, I can get it down in the 110-115 range when I remember to take a few different glucose management supplements. For example, I ate a meal containing 90g net carbs and my 2h PPBG was 110. It's my FBG (fasting blood glucose) that has me a bit concerned. If I eat my last meal within 4h of bedtime, even if it's containing mostly protein and fat, my FBG will "flatline" (not drop) from my last PPBG into the next day. My glucose just won't deplete and I get FBG readings lately of 106-112 which is unusual for me. I question if I'm losing my insulin sensitivity. Two things that I've observed augment that: 1) eating my last meal at >4h before bed; 2) not being sedentary (getting some sort of sustained physical activity like walking) which burns the remnant glucose. Then, I get FBG readings <100, but still in the mid to high 90s. But neither are always possible due to my schedule. I'm thinking this is a results of 2 things: - Dawn Phenomenon [[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_phenomenon']Dawn phenomenon - Wikipedia[/URL]] - Gluconeogenesis Thoughts? Anything I should augment or consider? Also, has anyone done a GlycoMark test? [[URL='https://glycomark.com/the-glycomark-test/']The GlycoMark Test - Glycomark[/URL]] I have. Twice. And the results could not be matched against a CGM (continuous glucose monitor). [/QUOTE]
