Q&A with Karen: blood glucose, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, low carb insomnia.
Episode 115 Q&A with Karen: blood glucose, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, low carb insomnia. In today's episode Karen answers some of the listeners questions! 1. Hi Karen first off I love your podcast! I have a question for your Q&A on whether or not you recommend a keto for diet type diet for me. I have heard you discuss the benefits of a keto or carnivore diet to help revers insulin resistance and type two diabetes, But I also have heard you say that those diets aren't good for people with thyroid and adrenal issues. Well I have both hypothyroidism and type diabetes what would you recommend I do?
2. Why is my morning blood glucose so high? My hemoglobin A1c is 5.2 but my morning glucose is 112!
3. Thanks for answering our questions. When I eat low carb, I tend to wake up at 3 am and have a hard time falling back to sleep. However if I have some carbs I generally sleep through the night and wake up a little after 6 am. The problem is when I eat carbs during dinner, I can gain weight overnight. Eating low carb helps me to lose weight. Is there a reason for the interrupted sleep eating low carb?
