I got a lot done today. Finally got the rest of the stuff for my blood glucose monitor yesterday and started using it this morning.
As expected, I woke up with high blood sugar.
Also, note how completely fu*#ed my hematocrit is, that is caused by me losing too much blood each day
Due to hematocrit being that low, I don’t think the high reading is even necessarily the MK677. Is possible that the high reading is 100% due to my low hematocrit from blood loss.
Also this low hematocrit is definitely contributing to me feeling low energy and crap all the time. Also dizzy etc, especially if I lift weights
.
After the high reading I immediately did fasted cardio, 15mins on the rowing machine, reasonably high intensity at least for me anyway.
Blood glucose after fasted cardio
So the fasted cardio made a large difference, and was only 15mins. Hematocrit still low though as would be expected.
Next I tried eating some food with carbs, then waiting two hours for another reading. I ate 1 cup mixed berries with 160g high protein yogurt, a teaspoon of honey on it, a coffee with a tablespoon of thickened cream and a teaspoon of honey in it. Total carbs 18g. Reading two hours later
Stayed under pre-diabetes range. Hematocrit up a little since morning from iron supplements but still way too low. Next was another round on the rower for ten minutes as a warm up to lifting today. Then was straight into the weights for a couple hours.
Had some dinner after and am just sitting here posting this now.
Down about 5kgs now since late November.
