Have a family history of Diabetes, and was seeing some symptoms. So I bought a test kit - sure enough was on the high side. Highest reading was 220, avg over 6-8 tests was about 160
Started the carnivore diet, virtually zero carbs for about a month.
Most all tests were 120 or under, majority were 111-115, taken around 6pm most days. Similar activity levels.
Here's the odd part, I've had 2 spikes of 221 and 223, both were days of 100% zero carbs, only water to drink.
I've had 3 tests of 100 or lower, all 3 days were days with 12-18 oz of Mt Dew, 3 slices of thick crust pizza, or some other High carb food - basically typical diet.

Why would those days be lower levels, and zero carb days the highest ?  Makes no sense.
