High Morning Glucose on Low Carb - Q3 QA16 - Podcast Ep. 423

3. High morning glucose on LCHF diet (95 mg/dl)

Gregor says:
Hi Robb,
I really appreciate what you are doing and I am a great fan of your podcasts (I read transcripts). Anyway, to the point: after I cut off grains, sugar, legumes and so on, my fasting glucose went high. On average it is 95 mg/dl, mostly between 90 and 100 mg/dl.
You mentioned this subject in your 385th podcast with Shawn Baker (one of my favorites podcasts on your site), but I didn't feel it was fully addressed and explained.
I know I am no diabetic. I have no health issues except 2-3 mild autoimmune diseases (the symptoms come and go).
Is my quite high fasting glucose anything to worry about? I have a friend following quite similar diet and life style and his fasting sugar is around 70-75. Does my 95 mg/dl fasting sugar have negative impact on my health, aging speed and so on? Can I do anything about that?

Thanks so much for talking one more time about that.
Gregor

Same thing happens to me. 10% diet consisting of carbs, say around 50g/day. Very, very active as well. Blood sugar stays low throughout most of the night but right around 6am starts to rise. A1C is on point and blood sugar in check the rest of the day with the exception of when i workout, in which case it increases to 130 to as high as 150 (empty stomach), the liver is doing that. I know my numbers because i'll analyze my blood sugar by using a Dexcom G6.
