  • That 99 is down to 96. Don't you just love it! My PCP does not know what to think, other than this must be dangerous and I'm going to have a stroke.

  • I'm maintaining a daily average of 175 lbs, which is my initial goal weight that I set back in the beginning of my carnivore journey in 2023. I did peak at 181 over winter but brought it back down dur

  • Great, very nice to see good results. My some what recent weight increase is reversing. As of, 3/15 /2026 my 7 day BGL has dropped to 87, the goal of 83 is in reach.

I recently noticed 2 things in my Zero Carb Carnivore Lifestyle. Most everyone experiences the Dawn Effect, a natural rise in one's Blood Glucose Level in the early morning. Part of waking up.

1. Sometimes my rise is small, maybe 15 or so and goes down to normalize 30 b to 45 minutes.

2. Even my big Dawn Effect , like 30 to 40 mg/dL, returns to normal in a similar fashion.

As one eats the appropriate human diet our bodies go better !

A side note: my 7 day, average BGL continues to drop, 94 this morning ! Look out 85, here i come.

Here is a great representation of progress on my Zero Carb Carnivore Lifestyle. Over 7 days my BGL pattern. Shrinking into the 70 tp 100 mg/dL range all day long. Some medical doctors will be disturbed that it is diet and not pharmaceuticals driving the results. The daily BGL average for 7 days here is 94

I'm the same. Mine can be 15-30 point swings. Most of it is natural but it gets tad higher the first couple of meals after fasting.

Once I have been eating for several days it drops back down. I stay around 80 or so during the day and have seen 110-111 once or twice.

Good to hear your progress continues.

I'm maintaining a daily average of 175 lbs, which is my initial goal weight that I set back in the beginning of my carnivore journey in 2023. I did peak at 181 over winter but brought it back down during January's World Carnivore Month. I think quitting the diet soda habit has gone a long way in helping me here. Something about plain water (and bubbly water) just makes me feel much better.

The results are in. The lab reported my A1c at 6.1%. Which compares to my CGM's reported 90 day Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) of 5.9. Nicely close. So retest in mid July, 17 weeks from now. Targeting < 5.0.

Working out at gym 3x a week now. Yes following Bernstein's recommendations for men at 70 years old. And continue the Zero Carb Carnivore Lifestyle.

The CMP panel was very good, nice kidney function!

It could be a very long story, so here it is short. I use the Liber CGM (2 plus model) and my finger stick glucometer is the Relion Primeer. So how accurate are they. Of to the lab via Own Your Labs for a fasting blood gluecose. Glucometer and test strips with me.

CGM 82 mg/dL

Glucometer 98 mg/dL

Lab Corp 99 mg/dL

So 98 verses 82, a 20 % difference. Thre more finger sticks and each is very close to 20 % more than my CGM.

Therefore;:

(CGM reading) X 1.2 = adjusted BGL

I am very sure of this. So I convert my CGM now.

This morning my CGM reports a 7 day average BGL of 80.

80 x 1.2 = 96 mg/dL. So back to going after my 84 mg/dL target.

The Zero Carb Lifestyle continues, being careful about any dairy. Have to limit cheese and possibly HWC.

Wave a conversion factor to apply to my CGM readings. I multiply the CGM value bu 1.2 to get my real BGL number. M I ee this c evening.

The family here is talking about getting a gym membership. There's a place down the street called Fitworks. We are also looking at Planet Fatness. classic_tongue

The wife, myself, and my son would all like to start working out.

Very nice. I'm jealous of anyone with good kidney function.

Glad to see you achieving your goals.
