Thank you, carol. I would need to educate myself on all that. I do a lot of IF and wonder if I’m letting my blood glucose get too high during my eating window. Two years ago, when I was nearly 260 pounds, I had my A1C tested and it was 4.9 or 4.8. I’ve lost just over 50 pounds since then, so I don’t think I’m at risk for diabetes. I just want to know how my body responds to certain foods. My brother, mother, grandmother and various other immediate family members have diabetes or had gestational diabetes, so I know I need to stay vigilant. I discovered Atkins just before I started conceiving, so I never gained weight in my pregnancies and was often in ketosis during that time. Maybe I shouldn’t bother, but I love data and research and anything that will convince me to stay on track has to be a good thing, I would think. 👍
