Strange phenomenon
6 months ago, I was on a high carb low fat diet. I could sometimes feel that I was in hypoglycemia. My body wasn't coping with it very well so I had to immediatly eat something. My fasting blood sugar was fine: 0.90 g/l and cholesterol was: total 1.75 g/l and HDL 0.91. These were considered excellent figures I guess.
I'm vrather thin, very lean and and doing some physical training. I started following the Zone diet about 3 months ago. I've been feeling great ever since and I'm no longer starving or overstuffed. For info, I split my food into 6 equal meals a day. Last meal is often taken before going to bed! (I would like to add a few pounds on my skeleton. Sorry folks lol)
Everything was fine so, until my fasting sugar blood test yesterday. It says 1.06 g/l. Now on a low carb diet with no simple sugar, it's much higher than previously! What's going on? I have the strange idea that with my small meals taken through out the day, my glycemai remains continuously in that range. What should I do and is it alarming? The fact is that I've never felt in hypoglycemai since I started the new diet. I hope it hasn't messed up my lipid profile too!
