I would not be worried about those numbers at all. They aren’t trending up which would suggest disease progression but instead are actually extremely stable which is a great sign.
Several studies have shown that your fasting blood sugars might be slightly elevated if you’re on a very low carb diet.
However, if you are still concerned and have the money to spare, buying a blood glucose monitor to test your blood sugar each morning and after meals wouldn’t be a terrible idea
I wouldn’t worry. Your numbers are not in the “prediabetes” range which is usually 5.7-6.4. And your fasting numbers are incredibly stable. I would take it off your plate of worries. Just keep doing what you’re doing and enjoy life!
Sally7: cholesterol meds? Interesting, I too am on one of those. I had not heard of that effect before. Thank you!
Peep: lo-carb diet, yes, that’s me. It seems like I barely eat them, I have to in order to control of the LDL/triglyceride beast! Thank you!
I went and bought a blood glucose tester. Boy, is that ever fun (no). I wish the continual test devices were over the counter (and much much cheaper)… testing pre/post meal (1-1.5 hrs after eating)
So far I’m averaging “normal” range, though in the morning I average about 107. Which I think odd and interesting that number is about equivalent to my fasting numbers. I figured it would be higher than my fasting
Thank you so far for the thoughts. Hope to hear more
