    Thank you. Hopefully I am doing the right thing and my slightly elevated FBG is no big deal.

    After I started pulling my FBG and ketone levels I realized my BG level 1 hour after breakfast could be 5-10 points lower than my FBG for example if FBG was 106 then an hour after breakfast it might be at 96.

    Eating LCHF seems to give different results in different people and even more so in the first 6 months of eating this way in my case.

    Do you suppose your FBG would go down anyhow in that time frame once you've burned off the extra glucose your liver gave you as a sunrise treat?

    I have never tested for that so I really do not know.

    When I first started staying in nutritional ketosis my FBG would be about 75 but that did not last for very long. That is how I figured out ketosis can lead to insulin resistance but that is OK because it is preserves glucose for required functions and drives the burning of ketones it seems.
